Russia has made and continue to make efforts to assist Azerbaijan and Armenia in developing a balanced peace treaty designed to make an irreplaceable contribution to the reconciliation of the two neighboring states, to the restoration of peace and security in the South Caucasus for the long term, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
According to him, reconciliation provides for the normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations.
"The relevant roadmap is well known. This is a set of statements by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020-2022. The documents remain in force and, therefore, are subject to execution. The Russian negotiating platform is always at the disposal of our allies and partners.
There are no small details in the negotiation process and in what accompanies it. Everything requires the utmost care, deep understanding and endurance. It is important not only to prepare and sign a mutually acceptable agreement. No less in demand is the creation of conditions for its subsequent strict observance. In this regard, Baku and Yerevan can rely on the 3+3 Regional Consultative Platform (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia on the one hand, Russia, Iran, Turkey on the other). Its cornerstone principle is strict respect for the sovereignty and independence of each of the participants," Galuzin said.
