The process of unblocking of transport communications in the South Caucasus should proceed solely peacefully. Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), stated this at Thursday’s press briefing.

"The safest way to lift the transport blockade in the region is the resumption of cooperation as soon as possible within the framework of the trilateral working group under the joint chairmanship of the deputy prime ministers of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. At the group’s last meeting in Moscow, which took place in June 2023, the parties were close to a decision on most of the practical issues," noted the Russian MFA spox.
