Russia hopes for Azerbaijan-Armenia contacts on peace talks in the coming months, Spokesperson for Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said at weekly briefing.
"As the trilateral statement of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia of October 31, 2022 noted, it's important to create a positive atmosphere to continue the dialogue between the public representatives, expert communities, and religious leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia with Russian assistance, and to launch trilateral inter-parliamentary contacts in order to strengthen trust between the peoples of the two countries," she reminded.
"The Armenian-Azerbaijani normalization process is challenging, but there is no alternative to peace. The related issues were discussed during the trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia in Moscow yesterday," the official noted.
