Important notes from #Russia & #Turkey MFA phone talk.
1. Both agreed of immediate stopping the fire.
i.e. Chavushoglu agrees fire must be stopped, while his boss says the opposite. Anyway now they agree.
2. Agreed, mercenaries must not join
i.e. Turkey agreed to stop … 1/3

transferring Syrians to #Azerbaijan.
3. Steps needed for political-diplomatic support to Yerevan & Baku,
i.e. no military support to none, only political-diplomatic
4. Confirming MinskGroup must act,
i.e. It still exists & no other body has to take its role.

2/3

Concluding:
1. Russia agreed not provide support to Armenia, and Turkey must do the same to Azerbaijan
2. No active measures to stop fire now
If I get it right, they let us battle face to face for Armenia to prove we can stand our soil or Azerbaijan can recover its Soviet borders

2 other Syria mercenaries reported to be killed in #Azerbaijan army fighting against #Karabakh.
