Violence in Region Has Escalated in Past Week

MOSCOW—Russian President Vladimir Putin met his Armenian and Azerbaijani counterparts on Sunday, calling for a negotiated and peaceful resolution to the armed conflict in the South Caucasus region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The meeting, held in Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi, was the first face-to-face engagement between Azerbaijan's Ilham Aliyev and Armenia's Serzh Sargsyan since the recent surge of violence in the region.

Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan but it—and some adjacent territory—has been under the control of Armenian soldiers and ethnic Armenian local troops since the end of a six-year war in 1994. Both sides report frequent shootings and attempted incursions along the cease-fire line, but the latest outbreak of fighting has been the worst in many years. Fighting erupted a week ago and has already claimed dozens of lives on both sides.

This is a very strange photo in it's composition. Putin is so small as to be insignificant. No brief cases, no glasses of water, only a few sheets of paper for each guy. All vewry odd.
