Following Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Azerbaijan, on the 23rd (local time), he held a phone call with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, mediating the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Additionally, the Kremlin explained that during the conversation with Prime Minister Pashinyan, they also discussed President Putin's state visit to Azerbaijan on the 18th-19th, where he held talks with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

Azerbaijan and Armenia have been in conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. This area is internationally recognized as Azerbaijani territory, but Armenian residents established a self-proclaimed republic and occupied it for about 30 years.

Although Russia has recently been attacked in its own territory of Kursk by Ukraine, President Putin has demonstrated diplomatic prowess by mediating conflicts among neighboring countries. This is interpreted as an attempt to show his resilience through normal diplomatic activities while being under scrutiny from the United States and the Western world.
