Russia is in favor of deepening cooperation among countries in the region

ANKARA, April 7. /TASS/. Russia expects that non-regional actors will not interfere with the settlement in the South Caucasus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a news conference following talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Friday.

"We hope that some of our extra-regional colleagues will not interfere with these processes (settlement in the South Caucasus – TASS) and orient the parties towards the strict implementation of the trilateral Russian-Armenian-Azerbaijani agreements," he said.

He stressed that these agreements "remain the main basis for further work."

Russia is in favor of deepening cooperation among countries in the region.

"We welcome the process of normalization between Armenia and Turkey, launched with our support. We welcome efforts to unblock transport links in the region and, of course, to promote the post-conflict restoration of the South Caucasus," Lavrov said.

“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
