The Ministry of Defense of Russia is dealing with the settlement of the conflict in Syunik Province on a daily basis, @wargonzo Telegram channel reports, citing insiders of the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“The contacts with the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides in regard to the issue on the border in Syunik Province are at different levels, including with the defense ministers. Russia has set the objective to solve the situation in such a way that it disallows the restart of hostilities in the region and maintains the status of a peacekeeping country.

The Russian peacekeeping mission’s work, under the leadership of Rustam Muradov (commander of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh), has proved to be effective, in spite of the problems that were artificially created by interested players, including external forces. When talking about external forces, it is necessary to state how Armenia’s Western “partners” are trying to play with the discrepancies, particularly France and the US, which are actively inseminating anti-Russian moods in Armenian society.

Without taking any initiative to stop the bloodshed during the second war in Nagorno-Karabakh, today, Macron is making pompous statements on the current situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, yet isn’t using real tools for influence on Baku and Ankara (but France has those tools).

Amid this, the Russian Ministry of Defense and Muradov’s team of negotiators are doing everything possible to make sure the border conflict is resolved. As far as we know, Muradov’s trip to Nagorno-Karabakh won’t end so long as the issue remains unsolved.”
