Russia ready to contribute to Armenia-Azerbaijan normalization – Galuzin

Russia is ready to contribute to the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told Izvestia. He emphasized that the main areas for progress were outlined in the trilateral agreements signed by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia in 2020 and 2022.

“We believe that we should move along these directions: drafting a peace agreement, unblocking economic and transport communications in the region, conducting border delimitation followed by demarcation, establishing dialogue between civil societies and parliaments of Armenia and Azerbaijan. And, of course, the Russian side, as one of the participants of the trilateral agreements, is ready to continue to contribute to their implementation—naturally, in a manner that suits both sides,” Galuzin stated.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev held talks in Abu Dhabi on July 10.
