Work on Baku-Yerevan normalization within trilateral format underway  - Russian MFA

ArmInfo.The work on normalization of relations between Baku and Yerevan is being carried  out within the framework of trilateral format and on the basis of statements by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. This was announced on June 7 at a briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the activity of the West in the South Caucasus region.

As Zakharova noted, Moscow believes that the package of agreements is  a non-alternative "road map" for the process of reconciliation of the  two fraternal peoples for Russia. ,  said the official representative of the  Russian Foreign Ministry.  She also stressed that the promotion of  Baku and Yerevan towards balanced solutions continues to be a  priority for Moscow.

As for the actions of the US and the EU, as Zakharova noted, their  sudden increased activity cannot but cause surprise.

Until the tripartite agreements, none of them, and in particular the  EU, showed particular interest in this issue. Apparently, the  situation has now changed. , said the official representative of the  Russian Foreign Ministry. She also touched upon the issue of  unblocking transport and economic communications in the South  Caucasus region, which is being worked out in detail by the  vice-premiers of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.

It should be reminded that recently in an interview with H1 TV  channel, Secretary of the RA Security Council Armen Grigoryan  announced Armenia's intentions to maintain its sovereignty over these  communications, while releasing a number of impartial statements  against Russia. In this regard, Zakharova noted that this  high-ranking official must decide: either you choose the dialogue  that Moscow has with Yerevan, or you continue to make such  statements. "We are in favor of the first option," the official  representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed.
