The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday to review the new round of clashes between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Iran PressAmerica: The UN Security Council is expected to hold emergency talks Tuesday behind closed doors on Nagorno Karabakh, where fierce fighting has raged since the weekend, 

This emergency meeting will be held at the request of Germany and France.

Clashes between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh region resumed on Sunday morning and have so far left a number of people dead.

The conflict between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region began in 1988 and escalated into a military conflict in 1992, which resulted in the occupation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan and seven neighboring cities by Armenian forces.

So far, many countries, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, have called for an end to the conflict and the start of talks between Baku and Yerevan.

Earlier, in a telephone conversation with his Armenian and Azerbaijani counterparts, the Iranian Foreign Minister called on the two sides to show restraint, a ceasefire, and an immediate end to hostilities, as well as the start of negotiations within the framework of international law.

Also,  Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that Iran is ready to provide good offices to enable talks between Baku and Yerevan.
