Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said Moscow was ready to help Armenia and Azerbaijan sign a peace deal and proposed holding talks in Moscow.

Azerbaijan restored control over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh last month with a 24-hour military operation which triggered the exodus of most of the territory's 120,000 ethnic Armenians to Armenia.
