Russia supports the process of normalization of relations between Turkey and Armeni, Russian Ambassador Sergey Kopyrkin told reporters.

He explained that Russia supports such steps. "We support all steps and all processes that will ensure peace, prevent violence, use of force and escalation and lay the foundation for safe and peaceful development of the region," the ambassador said.

In recent days information has been actively circulating that the first face-to-face meeting between Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is planned for October 6 in Prague.
