Russia has expressed its readiness to assist in normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized during talks with Armenia's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan.
Russia has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
During a meeting with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, Lavrov stated that Russia is prepared to assist in all areas of the normalization process, building on the trilateral agreements reached by the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia in 2020 and 2022.
Lavrov’s comments come as part of ongoing efforts to stabilize the South Caucasus region, which has been marked by long-standing tensions between the two nations. The agreements made in 2020 and 2022 aimed to establish peace and cooperation, and Russia has positioned itself as a key player in facilitating further dialogue between Baku and Yerevan.
"Russia is ready to provide necessary assistance in normalizing relations across all tracks, and we remain committed to developing the trilateral agreements reached by the leaders of the three countries," Lavrov emphasized.
In addition to addressing the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict, Lavrov highlighted the strengthening of Russia-Armenia bilateral relations, particularly in trade and economic sectors.
According to Lavrov, the trade turnover between the two countries has surged, reaching a record nearly $12 billion in the past year. This marks a significant increase in economic ties, underscoring the growing partnership between the two nations.
The diplomatic discussions come at a critical juncture, with both Azerbaijan and Armenia seeking stability after the Karabakh conflict and the ongoing challenges of reconciliation. Russia's role as a mediator remains crucial in ensuring that the peace process moves forward while addressing the interests and concerns of both parties.
As the situation in the South Caucasus continues to evolve, Moscow’s involvement in facilitating dialogue and promoting mutual understanding between Azerbaijan and Armenia is expected to remain a pivotal aspect of the region’s geopolitical landscape.
