ArmInfo. There is no rewriting the history of Armenian- Russian relations, Russian foreign  office spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated.   

She asked how many conflicts have been extinguished over the past 2-3  years, thanks to the efforts of the Russian Federation and Russian  President Vladimir Putin personally. "Doesn't anyone in Yerevan know  about this? Of course they do. So why do they admit and allow  themselves such statements. Want to rewrite history? This will not  work, because the people of Armenia know their history very well,  and, moreover, they know about the role of Russia in the fate of the  Armenian people," Zakharova said.

Answering a question about Moscow's reaction to the armed provocation  by the advanced units of the Azerbaijani armed forces that occurred  on September 1, Zakharova noted that Moscow condoles on the death of  Armenian servicemen in the village of Sotk and calls on the parties  to refrain from actions which lead to escalation, tension, and even  more so, to human casualties. This incident, she said, once again  confirmed the low effectiveness of the European Union mission  stationed in Armenia. In this regard, Zakharova again proposed  placing a CSTO mission on the border area between Armenia and  Azerbaijan.  She also drew attention to the need to carry out regular  work on the delimitation and demarcation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani  border with Russian advisory assistance, while simultaneously  implementing a set of measures to strengthen confidence-building  measures. "The ball is in Yerevan's court. All other members of the  Organization have expressed their readiness for this step," Zakharova  said.
