This was stated on April 25 during a weekly briefing by official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in response to a request to comment on the theses that the Russian President recognized Artsakh as Azerbaijani back in 2020.

According to her, Moscow has already commented on this issue.

ArmInfo. Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, reminded the  Azerbaijani journalist about the Armenians who left Azerbaijan in the late 1980s, in response to the journalist's attempt to connect the issue of the return of Artsakh citizens expelled from their homes to Nagorno Karabakh with the issue of the return of Azerbaijanis to the territory of Armenia.

ArmInfo. The information that the United Kingdom is negotiating to deport illegal migrants to  Armenia is very similar to the Rwandan scheme, but it is that should Yerevan comment on this matter.

Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova stated on April 10 during a weekly briefing, referring to the high-level meeting in the Armenia-US-EU format in Brussels.

ArmInfo. Russia has demonstrated itself globally as a mediator in resolving regional problems, with a high degree of effectiveness and acting in the interests of peace in the region, and for the benefit of all countries in the region.

ArmInfo. The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement in connection with the high- level meeting in the  Armenia-US-EU format. 

ArmInfo. The trilateral meeting of RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, US Secretary of State Antony  Blinken and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen is an important event in the context of the Yerevan-Washington and Yerevan-Brussels dialogue, Secretary of the Security Council Armen  Grigoryan said in an interview with Armenia's Public Television, answering the question that we should expect a Pashinyan-Blinken-Von der Leyen meeting in Brussels.

ArmInfo.The team of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan proclaims history as almost the main  source of troubles and catastrophes for the Armenian people. A similar opinion is shared by Sergei Markedonov, a leading researcher at the Institute of International Studies of the MGIMO University of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

ArmInfo.Our position has not changed - we expect that the CSTO will give a political assessment of  the fact that the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia are occupied, in particular in September 2022.

Ambassador  of France to Armenia, Olivier Decottignies, stated in an interview with the Public Television of Armenia.

ArmInfo.Armenia has never before had such a high level of subjectivity as it does now, Armen  Khachatryan of the dominant parliamentary faction Civil Contract told reporters about this on April 3, commenting on the statements by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova.

ArmInfo.The new aggravation between Armenia and Azerbaijan directly depends on how much official  Yerevan will allow the EU, USA and Britain to destructively influence the situation in the region as a whole and between the two countries, the Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, stated.
