The military clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia resulted in multiple casualties, said Russian President Vladimir Putin at the summit of the head of CIS countries, AzVision.az reports. 

Putin noted that the conditions of the Nagorno-Karabakh peace agreement are being implemented.

"Russian peacekeepers are doing everything possible to stabilize the situation. Russia plays the role of mediator to stop the bloodshed in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, to achieve a full ceasefire and to begin the process of stabilization. At the same time, we tried to implement the key agreements reached in the OSCE Minsk Group", he added. 

Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on positions of Azerbaijani army on the front line, using large-caliber weapons, mortars and artillery on Sept. 27. Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire front.
