The trilateral statement of 9 November 2020, signed by the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, is equally binding for all sides that signed it, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a weekly press briefing, in response to the question that there is an impression among the society in Armenia that the provisions of the trilateral statement are binding only for Armenia, whereas Azerbaijan can violate it at any moment.
“It’s a trilateral statement, it has been signed by the leaders of three countries, and that means that the sides have equal commitments in terms of its implementation. Finally, the leaders of the three countries have not only signed that statement, they have drafted it beforehand. In other words, they have agreed on some things which later were put on paper that was signed. I think that the fact that this document is equally binding for all sides must not be questioned”, Zakharova said.
