The idea of sending the EU civil mission to the Armenian-Azerbaijani border in Russia is considered another attempt by the European Union in any way to wedge into the settlement process, to squeeze the intermediary of Moscow. So said the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova.
“Of course, building your relationship is a matter of sovereign states,” Zakharova said, while casting doubt on the real capabilities of the EU in terms of mediation.
According to Zakharova, EU representatives could not prevent the situation around Ukraine in a hot phase. Zakharova believes that the work of the EU missions has not yet led to a real settlement.
“We proceed from the fact that the only key to the reconciliation of Yerevan and Baku, the establishment of a strong world and long -term stability in the region is the full implementation of tripartite statements by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia,” Zakharova said.
According to her, the Russian side supports regular contacts on this issue with Armenian and Azerbaijani colleagues.
