Russia says it and Turkey urge end to hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh

Russia says two countries' foreign ministers have found common ground after French journalists injured during shelling

Russia and Turkey's foreign ministers have agreed to the need for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, according to a Russian statement, opening the door to a possible end to fighting in the breakaway region.

The potential breakthrough was at odds with an earlier statement by the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoan, who hours earlier had called for a full Armenian withdrawal from the area - which is legally Azerbaijani territory but administered by ethnic Armenians - and condemned international efforts to resolve the conflict.
