Zakharova: Our Armenian, Azerbaijani partners accepted proposal to  hold next round of bilateral negotiations in Russia

ArmInfo.Our efforts are not weakening for all possible assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan in the preparation of a peace treaty between these countries. Official  representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova,  announced this on April 12 during a briefing.

"The partners have accepted our proposal to hold the next round of  bilateral negotiations on our territory.  We will announce the dates  when all this process is finally agreed and when it will be possible  to make this information public," she said.  To clarify whether  yesterday's incident between the armed forces of Azerbaijan near the  village of Tegh could be due to the activation of the West in the  South Caucasus, the Russian diplomat noted that Moscow had previously  shared its analysis that the inclusion of other players or  organizations there that had never been involved in the settlement of  this long-standing conflict will have absolutely no added value and  no declared impact on achieving peace.

According to her, it will either become a reason for speculation or  lead to escalation, destabilization and will lead away from the  planned peaceful settlement. "We talked about it," she said, adding  that the Russian Foreign Ministry had already predicted the  inevitable, thanks to the analysis.  Zakharova added that "now we are  forced to contemplate and observe with bitterness and regret various  manifestations of how additional destabilization occurs, due to the  intervention of external players who have never acted  constructively."
