Yerevan should contribute to search for mutually acceptable solutions – Russian Foreign Ministry
Baku/27.04.23/Turan: The Russian Foreign Ministry considers it fundamentally important that official Yerevan contributes to the search for mutually acceptable solutions around the Lachin corridor. This was stated at a briefing on April 27 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
Thus, she replied to the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, who actually demanded that the Russian peacekeepers open the corridor by force. "No one except Russian peacekeepers should control the corridor," he said.
Zakharova noted that Russia is making the necessary efforts to resolve the situation around the Lachin corridor and return to the trilateral agreements.
These steps are being taken both through peacekeepers and at the political level.
"We consider it fundamentally important that official Yerevan contributes to the search for mutually acceptable solutions," Zakharova said. -0-
