Peace efforts should take into account the interests of both Armenia and Azerbaijan – Russian Foreign Ministry
Baku/30.08.23/Turan: Moscow welcomes any initiatives that do not run counter to Russia's efforts to normalize relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, do not duplicate or undermine them, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing on Wednesday, commenting on the latest statements by French President Macron.
"France's activity in this area is well known. Within the framework of such mediation efforts, it is necessary to take into account the position of both sides of the conflict - both Armenia and Azerbaijan. And without this, it is not worth counting on any progress of the situation, which is already sufficiently heated," Zakharova said.
Earlier, President Macron said that he would launch a new diplomatic initiative to resolve the conflict in Karabakh. ---02D---
