ArmInfo.Russia conveys its concerns on problematic issues directly to Turkey, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing, commenting on Moscow's negative reaction to the Armenian-American exercises, despite the fact that another NATO country, Turkey, regularly conducts large military exercises with another ally of the Russian Federation - Azerbaijan and has established military-technical cooperation with Baku.
According to Zakharova, no external influence or participation should be against or to the detriment of existing agreements without the consent of the parties, nor if there is at least the slightest prospect that this will upset the fragile balance of power achieved through diplomatic work and the work of mediators and peacekeepers.
" We convey all our concerns about problematic issues to the party with whom such issues arise. In particular, you just talked about Turkey, we are discussing these issues directly with them," she said. As Zakharova pointed out, Moscow is concerned about any weapons delivered to the conflict zone.
