Western countries use our achievements to “penetrate” into the region – Maria Zakharova

 
Russia has its historical and natural interests in the South Caucasus, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a press briefing on Wednesday.

She added that the significance of the Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan trilateral declaration can hardly be overestimated.

“Trying to assume the role of mediators, the US and EU could not find anything new. They used our solutions but distorted them, hoping to take credit for the peace process. They want to take the region under their control, push Russia together with Iran and Turkey out of it, and create another conflict zone. They do not care about what will happen to the South Caucasus,” she noted.
