Moscow will actively promote the conclusion of a peace treaty between Yerevan and Baku, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova.

“Moscow's position in connection with the recent events in the zone of responsibility of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh is reflected in the statement of the Foreign Ministry dated March 26. We urged the parties to ensure strict adherence to the top-level tripartite agreements of November 9, 2020 on a complete ceasefire in the Karabakh conflict zone.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia and the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent are taking vigorous actions to de-escalate the situation, while the peacekeepers act strictly in accordance with the provisions of the above-mentioned statement of the leaders of the three countries. Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, we are in constant contact with representatives of Yerevan and Baku, and up-to-date information on the operational situation on the ground is published daily in the bulletins of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

We continue to make efforts to normalize relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan based on the existing agreements of the leaders of the three countries, including on the delimitation and demarcation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and unblocking economic and transport ties in the region. We will actively contribute to the conclusion of a peace treaty between Yerevan and Baku,” she said.
