Putin for the delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border with the assistance of Moscow

Baku/20.09.22/Turan: Russia stands for a peaceful settlement between countries close to Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 20, speaking about the worsening situation on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Regnum reports.

“I emphasize that any conflict situations between states close to us cause us serious concern. We call on everyone to show restraint, strictly observe the ceasefire regime and firmly follow the tripartite statements of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia,” the head of state said during the ceremony of presenting credentials by foreign ambassadors.

The Russian leader added that it is necessary to proceed from the fact that the key to the solution lies in professional, joint work within the framework of the bilateral commission on the delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border with advisory assistance from Moscow.

Thus, it follows from Putin's words that Russia considers the recent clashes between the Azerbaijani and Armenian armies as "territorial disputes" and does not share Armenia's position on the "invasion of Azerbaijan" into its territory.

In addition, Putin made it clear that the process of delimitation should be carried out only with its moderation and the participation of other external forces is excluded. --06B--
