Foreign Ministers of Russia, France and Germany discussed the situation around Karabakh
Baku/08.06.21/Turan: On June 7, Foreign Ministers of Russia, France and Germany held a trilateral telephone conversation on a number of international issues, according to the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Topics discussed included the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the implementation of provisions of the trilateral statements signed by leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia on November 9, 2020 and January 11, 2021.
"The Mimisters emphasized the importance of strict compliance with the ceasefire regime and the need in political and diplomatic solution to the emerging differences. Also, Ministers reaffirmed the role of the OSCE Minsk Group in the negotiation process between Azerbaijan and Armenia. As for the Russian side, it was noted that any involvement of international organizations is possible only with the consent of Baku and Yerevan," the report says.
It should be added that the Russian Foreign Ministry does not specify which organizations are meant, though earlier French President Macron proposed to submit debates to the UN Security Council. This happened when the situation on the border escalated. At the same time, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan suggested to deploy OSCE observers on the border between the two countries.
Following talks between three Foreign Ministers, the French Foreign Ministry confirmed Paris is ready to "closely cooperate with Russia within the framework of the Minsk Group and other international platforms."
If earlier Macron demanded that Azerbaijan "should withdraw its troops from the territory of Armenia, the French Foreign Ministry's statement focused only "on the necessity of starting negotiations between the parties to overcome delimitation and demarcation challenges irrespective of the latest developments on these territories." -02D-
