ArmInfo.The issues of the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement and the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan remain in the focus of attention of Moscow and active Russian policy. This was stated during the briefing by official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
According to her, this is also the central theme of the policy of Baku and Yerevan, including at the highest and high levels.
"Our main efforts are concentrated on the implementation of trilateral agreements at the level of the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan. Among the priorities are the solution of humanitarian tasks in Nagorno-Karabakh, de-escalation of tensions on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, unblocking of transport and economic ties in the Transcaucasus, "she said.
Zakharova also stressed that Russia also supports the intensification of the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, on the basis of the existing mandate, which would contribute to the solution of humanitarian problems and serve as a prerequisite for the transition to the discussion of political problems. "Currently, new Russian co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, Igor Khabaev, is just completing his regional trip. He has already held negotiations with the Azerbaijani leadership in Baku, ahead of similar contacts will take place in Yerevan, "she summed up.
