Russia will host a trilateral summit with Azerbaijan and Armenia on Monday, in its continued efforts to end the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
According to the Kremlin on Sunday, the leaders will discuss providing assistance to residents affected by hostilities, and resuming economic relations between the two former Soviet republics.
This comes after a ceasefire was reached in November, brokered by Russia, which halted a six-week violent conflict.
"We have agreed that military action stops and the parties remain at the positions where they were when the agreement was signed. And the next thing should be full normalization."
Russia had also sent peacekeeping soldiers to monitor the ceasefire.
But, tensions remained high in the region,.as minor violence continued to break out in the past weeks.
