New Delhi: The Indian government has expressed concern over the exchange of fire on Armenia-Azerbaijan border.

 "We have seen disturbing reports of exchange of fire on Armenia-Azerbaijan border which took place on 12-13 July. India is concerned over this situation which threatens regional peace and security," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

India urged the nations to maintain peace.

"We urge the sides to maintain restraint and take all possible steps to maintain peace at the border. India believes that any lasting resolution of the conflict can only be achieved peacefully through diplomatic negotiations," read the statement.

"In this regard, we support OSCE Minsk Group’s continued efforts for a peaceful resolution of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan," the statement said.

Azerbaijan says one of its generals and five other officers have been killed in a third day of fighting with Armenian forces on the countries' border, BBC reported.
