Russia is ready to provide its platform for negotiations between representatives of Azerbaijan and Armenia and will create the most comfortable conditions for them. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova at the weekly briefing, commenting on the statements of the Azerbaijani president on the peace treaty with Armenia.

“At the same time, Russia has also pledged to continue to provide all possible assistance to this. That is, our approach is not only stable, it is also fixed in the document to which our country's signature stands. The scope and form of such assistance should be acceptable to each of the negotiating parties, in line with the agreements reached, Moscow has repeatedly hosted rounds of Azerbaijani-Armenian negotiations on the draft peace treaty. We are ready to do it in the future,” Zakharova said.
She noted that Moscow also guarantees the creation of the most comfortable conditions for the work of both delegations, in their preferred bilateral format. At the same time, the Russian Federation welcomes the efforts of Kazakh partners who initiated and organized the May 10-11 meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers in Almaty.
