ArmInfo. The Russian Foreign Ministry does not have information about the intentions of the Turkish Nationalist Movement party (political wing of the Gray Wolves grouping - ed. note) to implement projects in Shushi and other parts of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Thus, on February 18, during a weekly briefing, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, when asked to express Moscow's position on this issue, noted that they did not have information on this issue.
Zakharova recalled that as a result of the agreements between the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia dated November 9, 2020 and January 11, 2021, Nagorno-Karabakh is now returning to a peaceful life - through collective efforts. "And for this, it is necessary that both Armenia and Azerbaijan, and all neighboring countries act from a unified position, promoting the establishment of a dialogue among all peoples living in the region, helping to unblock economic and transport ties, and ensuring the protection of historical and cultural monuments," the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry said, indicating that it is obvious that common positions presuppose the establishment of a lasting peace, on the basis of which people returning to the regions will build life in a number of directions. At the same time, when asked to comment on the intentions of the Turkish authorities to sell the buildings of two Armenian churches in the country, she found it difficult to assess these actions. At the same time, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry admitted that she was quite surprised when she learned that the practice of selling religious objects is quite popular in the world. <And this practice, again I will refrain from evaluations, is very common. We are talking about the domestic national legislation of each state, " Zakharova said.
