Armenian & Russian Fms Eye Karabakh Following Latter's Visit To Baku
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Sabina Mammadli read more Coinciding with the first anniversary of the Declaration on
Allied Cooperation signed between Russia and Azerbaijan last year,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov paid a two-day visit to
Azerbaijan back on February 27-28.
Besides, the general discussion of the wide specter of bilateral
ties, the Russian minister in a tandem with Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov held a conference on 'Russian-Azerbaijani
relations in the 21st century: Strategic partnership in the context
of regional security' as part of the 3rd meeting of the
Russia-Azerbaijan Expert Council.
The sides discussed the normalization process between Azerbaijan
and Armenia and the peace treaty with Lavrov reiterating that
Russia is ready to contribute to the signing of the peace agreement
between the two states, noting that Baku has agreed to the next
meeting to be held in Moscow. However, he added that Armenia has
not stated a clear position on the matter.
Armenia has recently been blunt with its statements against
Russia feeling protected behind the backs of the West. Here,
commenting on Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan's remarks about Russia's
military presence in Armenia creating security threats for the
republic, Lavrov simply noted that they“remain entirely on his own
conscience”.
Right after the visit to Baku, the Russian foreign minister met
with his Armenian colleague Ararat Mirzoyan in New Delhi.
Here too, the sides talked about the urgency of intensifying
efforts in all areas of the Armenian-Azerbaijani normalization in
accordance with the agreements between the leaders of Russia,
Armenia, and Azerbaijan dated November 9, 2020, January 11 and
November 26, 2021, and October 31, 2022.
