The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed “deep concern” over escalating violent conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In an announcement on Tuesday, the Ministry condemned the attack that Azerbaijan unleashed against positions within Armenian territory and urged for a quick descalation.

“The Republic of Cyprus supports the peaceful settlement of disputes on the basis of International Law,” it said.
