YEREVAN, JANUARY 27, ARMENPRESS. Russia is affirming its readiness to organize negotiations between the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers in Moscow under the auspices of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a press briefing.

“We’ve notified both Yerevan and Baku about this, we’ve publicly spoken about this. We consider that the periodically emerging difficulties on the ground should not become obstacles or pretexts for freezing the negotiations process, and it is necessary to resume the work in all directions of the normalization of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations as soon as possible, including the unblocking of transport routes, border delimitation, signing of peace treaty, as well as contacts between the civil societies,” Zakharova said.
