At a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi today, he said more than 2,000 civilians, including more than a thousand children, were evacuated to the main base point of Russian peacekeepers, deployed in the region, Tass news agency reported.

"We are in very close contact with all parties to the conflict and the authorities in Yerevan, in Stepanakert and in Baku. I hope that we will be able to achieve de-escalation and shift the solution of this problem into a peaceful direction," the Russian president emphasized.

"Our peacekeepers are very actively working with all parties involved in this conflict. They are doing everything to protect the peaceful population," he emphasized.
