Jan 21 2022

The Russian Foreign Ministry said Russia is ready to provide advisory assistance to Azerbaijan and Armenia in the process of delimitation and demarcation of the border.

"The priority task today is to launch the process of delimitation and demarcation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, as well as unblock transport and economic ties in the region. Achieving progress in these areas will significantly advance the normalization of relations between Baku and Yerevan," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in response to media queries.

Asked about how Russia sees the future of the South Caucasus, where external players are too active, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that all those who want to join the process of normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, ensure stability and security in the South Caucasus, did not act on the principle of zero sum game, but proceeded from the parties' interests stemming from the trilateral agreements.

"It is necessary to create and launch as soon as possible the bilateral commission that will deal with the delimitation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border with its subsequent demarcation. We are ready to provide advisory assistance to Baku and Yerevan in this process," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
