Progress in Karabakh conflict
If Russia is interested in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, a change can happen in this process, says Rasim Musabeyov, a member of the parliamentary committee on international and interparliamentary relations and political scientist.

"A progress is impossible to happen at the OSCE Minsk Group level for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict`s settlement," he told Trend Apr. 7. "They [the OSCE Minsk Group] are only making proposals to the conflict parties and studying opinions in order to achieve agreements."

The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have recently visited Baku to discuss the resumption of negotiations for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict`s settlement.

On the night of April 2, 2016, all the frontier positions of Azerbaijan were subjected to heavy fire from the Armenian side, which used large-caliber weapons, mortars and grenade launchers. The armed clashes resulted in deaths and injuries among the Azerbaijani population. Azerbaijan responded with a counter-attack, which led to liberation of several strategic heights and settlements.

Military operations were stopped on the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian armies on Apr. 5 at 12:00 (UTC/GMT + 4 hours) with the consent of the sides, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry earlier said. Ignoring the agreement, the Armenian side again started violating the ceasefire.
