Russia stands for a comprehensive improvement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, and calls on the parties to exchange prisoners of war and maps of minefields, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a press briefing today.

She said both Armenia and Azerbaijan are well aware of Moscow’s position. According to Zakharova, the unconditional priority is the implementation of the trilateral agreements signed by the leaders of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan on November 9, 2020 and January 11 this year.

“Contacts at the highest and high levels with Yerevan and Baku are carried out regularly. During the summer, the Russian President met with the Armenian Prime Minister on July 7 and the Azerbaijani President on July 20 in Moscow,” she recalled.

“The details of the discussions are of interest to you, but given the particular sensitivity of the issue, including security, the details do not always become public because the publicity can really interfere with the achievement of a sustainable result,” she said.

Zakharova said confrontational or bellicose rhetoric that political leaders of the South Caucasus countries sometimes resort to are absolutely counterproductive, damaging the main goal – the achievement of a sustainable result.
