So, on June 9, at a press conference in Yerevan, to the question of ArmInfo about what steps the Russian side is taking to completely withdraw the Azerbaijani armed forces from the territories around the village of Parukh of Nagorno-Karabakh, Lavrov noted that the Russian military keep this issue as one of their priorities, which the Armenian partners are well aware of.
"There are already certain results in terms of de-escalating the situation on the ground. And we understand that within the framework of the substantive work already started in the direction of demarcation, these issues will be considered and will be resolved by all means," the Russian Minister said.
