Zakharova: Russia firmly supports prompt reconciliation of Armenia and Turkey

YEREVAN, September 18. /ARКА/. Russia firmly supports the prompt reconciliation of the two neighboring nations, stated Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, while addressing a query regarding the normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey.

"You recall how many times our nation, along with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov personally, has engaged in international discussions focused on this matter. It is not by chance that the first round of negotiations between Armenia and Turkey in recent years occurred on January 14, 2021, in Moscow," Zakharova remarked during a press briefing on Thursday.

She underscored that the normalization of relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Turkey is viewed as a fundamental requirement for establishing enduring peace and facilitating sustainable development in the South Caucasus.

"We are prepared to continue assisting the endeavors of our Armenian and Turkish partners in this regard, including through the 3+3 regional cooperation platform, which encompasses Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Russia, Iran, and Turkey. We anticipate that the realities on the ground and the long-term interests of our neighbors in the South Caucasus will be appropriately considered when formulating agreements between Ankara and Yerevan. To achieve this, it is crucial to avert destructive interference from external regional influences in the already challenging negotiation process," Zakharova stated.-0-
