Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to U.S.-hosted peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan this week saying there was "no alternative" to a ceasefire deal that Moscow signed with the two warring countries in November 2020.

"For the moment, there is no other legal basis that would help a resolution. There is no alternative to these trilateral documents," Peskov told reporters according to TASS.

Initiatives to lower tensions in the region "are possible above all on the basis of the trilateral documents signed with Russia," he said.

The United States this week is hosting normalization negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
