“Now there is naturally no active negotiation process [with the United States]. We have personal contacts on emerging issues, and not even on problematic issues, but problems”, the diplomat said as quoted by TASS.

At the same time, Zakharova recalled that for six months the Russian side “has been actively engaged in rocking the negotiation process with the United States on a number of tracks”. “Cybersecurity, global security, Ukraine”, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman listed.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
