Moscow/02.09.21/Turan: Moscow is ready to further promote the improvement of relations between Ankara and Yerevan, and sees positive signals between the countries. According to TASS, this was announced on Thursday at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
"We have recorded the recent exchange of positive signals between Yerevan and Ankara. We are ready now in every possible way to promote the rapprochement of the two neighboring states on the basis of mutual respect and taking into account the interests of each other," she said.
The establishment of relations between the countries would contribute to the establishment of peace, stability and prosperity in the region, especially against the background of "the normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations in the context of the implementation of the statements signed by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia of November 9, 2020 and January 11, 2021," Zakharova said.
According to her, Russia has always stood for the improvement of relations between Armenia and Turkey and took an active part in this process. “By the way, in the past we were directly involved in the relevant mediation efforts. So we facilitated the signing of the so-called Zurich Protocols in 2009 in Zurich. They assumed a gradual improvement in relations between Armenia and Turkey without putting forward preconditions,” she noted.-0-
