“The parties have advanced significantly in achieving agreements.” This was announced during the press conference with the Iranian Foreign Minister in Moscow by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, commenting on the issue of unlocking communications in the South Caucasus.
“The issues of unlocking communications in the South Caucasus are dealt with by a tripartite group with the participation of Deputy Prime Ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. It works rhythmically, simultaneously with meetings on the border division. Literally the other day, the next contacts took place.
The parties have advanced significantly in achieving agreements. I hope they will already be issued in the very near future, which is especially important – this work is carried out not in a vacuum, not in isolation, but in close linking with wider transport projects, including the North -South, in which our Iranian partners are also interested.
In practical terms, the process is very advanced. As for the global, regional significance, it consists in building logistics chains that will be independent of countries that show inappropriate attitude to the interests of their partners in the region, ”said Sergey Lavrov.
