The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov stated that Armenia is familiar with Moscow’s point of view and knows that the Russian side is ready to contribute to the normalization of relations with Azerbaijan.
This is reported by the Russian media, quoting his words in an interview with “Izvestia”.
“We have honestly expressed all our assessments to the leadership of Armenia, they know very well that we remain faithful to our commitments, that we are ready to continue contributing to the normalization of their (ed. Armenia) relations with Azerbaijan, and to fully complete this process. They know that against the backdrop of our sincere interest in stabilizing the situation and restoring relations between Yerevan and Baku, the European Union and NATO are taking steps to complicate this process,” Lavrov said.
The Russian Foreign Minister added that the Armenian authorities have not been in contact with the Russian side recently, and he last communicated with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan in November 2023.
“Recently, the leadership of Azerbaijan expressed its protest against some actions and statements, including those related to the expansion of the functions and composition of the EU mission in Armenia. It is for them (Armenia) to decide,” concluded the Russian Foreign Minister.
