Maria Zakharova.
Moscow/22.07.07.21/Turan: Russia is concerned with any escalation of tension on the border of Azerbaijan and Armenia, stated the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova at a briefing on Thursday.
"Of course, we perceive with concern any manifestations of escalation of tension in certain sections of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border. And, of course, this has an extremely negative effect on the regional situation and does not contribute to the normalization of the dialogue between Azerbaijan and Armenia, leading to unjustified losses among the population of the two countries," she said.
The diplomat also expressed condolences in connection with the death of an Armenian soldier on the border of the two countries and wished a speedy recovery to all victims of the conflict.
She noted that Russia is counting on the early start of negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the delimitation of the border, and is ready to assist. -02D-
