ArmInfo.Armenia has applied for Russia`s mediation in its rapprochement with Ankara, Maria Zakharova, Spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told a news briefing on Thursday.
"Yes, I can confirm that Armenia has applied for mediation. As you know Russia is interested in - and has even exerted repeated efforts - in the reconciliation process between Armenia and Turkey. And our country is willing to spare no further effort to facilitate the process," Zakharova said.
Launching this process will certainly improve the general situation in the region and form and build up good-neighborly relations and confidence, which is of special importance now.
Zakharova promised further details after any practical steps have been made.
"Unless, of course, it is detrimental to the negotiation process in the context of it being extremely sensitive," she said.
On November 23, the spokesperson of the RA foreign office reported that Yerevan applied to Moscow for its mediation in rapprochement with Turkey without any preconditions.
