Russia thinks that it is time to bring the “3 + 3” regional mechanism to a practical level, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at the weekly briefing. She said Moscow supports the idea of the presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey to create a “3 + 3” regional platform.
“We think it is time to put those programs into practice. Multilateral regional cooperation is in the interests of all its supposed members. Russia believes that the launch of the 3 + 3 would help increase confidence in interstate relations, resolve existing conflicts and open up the region’s transport potential and economy,” Zakharova said. She added that this project can solve both previous and new problems.
Zakharova also said that the soonest start of the demarcation and delimitation process of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border will allow finding a systemic solution to this problem. She said active work continues under the OSCE Minsk Group.
“The ministers were united in assessing that the situation in the region has stabilized over the past year, the ceasefire is generally maintained, Baku and Yerevan appreciate the role of Russian peacekeepers, and separate issues are resolved through sources with both sides,” she said.
