MOSCOW: Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to a ceasefire from noon Saturday and to begin "substantive talks" over Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after marathon negotiations in Moscow.

During the ceasefire -- mediated by the International Committee of the Red Cross -- the parties will exchange dead bodies and prisoners, Lavrov said, reading from a statement.

"Concrete parameters of the ceasefire will be agreed separately," the statement said.

"Azerbaijan and Armenia begin substantive negotiations with the purpose of achieving a peaceful settlement as soon as possible," Lavrov told reporters, adding that such talks will be mediated by the Minsk Group of international negotiators.
