Armenia and Azerbaijan agree to defuse Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

The ministers, who met in Geneva, agreed to not deliberately target civilian populations, engage in exchange of bodies on the battlefield, and provide lists of detained prisoners of war within a week with the aim of eventual exchange, said the statement by envoys from Russia, France and the United States.

Armenia and Azerbaijan – whose three ceasefires have failed to halt the latest fighting – would communicate on issues “related to possible ceasefire verification mechanisms,” it said.
