Speaking at a meeting of the CIS Heads of State Council, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

“The Russian peacekeeping contingent is the guarantor of compliance with the ceasefire regime. Humanitarian cargo is being transported, territories are being cleared of mines with our assistance, by the way, both on the territory of Azerbaijan and Armenia. All this once again confirms the Russian proverb that “a bad peace is better than a good war,” he said.
