ArmInfo. Russia stands for a political settlement of this already protracted crisis through negotiations. This was announced on June 4 during a weekly briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, referring to Moscow's efforts to ensure peace and stability in the region and, in particular, the issue of a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno- Azerbaijani conflict.
"We will do our best as a neighboring country, as a country that has a long history of friendship, interaction and cooperation with these countries, sovereign states, in order to make our constructive contribution not only as a state, but also as an intermediary participating in the work of the relevant group. Although there is no dramatic progress, I can confirm that optimism remains, "Zakharova concluded.
