[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Pope Francis has called for a peaceful resolution to the renewed armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
On the 18th (local time), at the end of the Sunday Angelus prayer held at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, the Pope expressed concern over the recent clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia, according to the Vatican's official media outlet, 'Vatican News.'
The Pope said, "More than 200 people have died due to the recent armed conflict between the two countries," and added, "Let us not forget that peace is possible when the gunfire stops and dialogue begins." From the 12th to the 14th, fighting broke out along the Azerbaijan-Armenia border, resulting in over 200 deaths on both sides.
