Maria Zakharova.
Moscow/15.01.21/Turan: Russia in every possible way welcomes humanitarian initiatives from Azerbaijani and Armenian public figures. This was stated on Friday at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
"We would in every possible way welcome the establishment of a direct dialogue between the Azerbaijani and Armenian intelligentsia, as well as the holding of joint humanitarian events by the two countries.
In our opinion, such initiatives contribute to the formation of an atmosphere of reconciliation, trust, mutual understanding and benefit for both the Azerbaijani and Armenian peoples and, in principle, the entire region of the South Caucasus, and therefore the Russian Federation.
The Russian side will certainly support such humanitarian actions if Baku and Yerevan demonstrate a sincere intention to move in this direction," she said. -02D-
