MOSCOW, 09 April 2022, (TON): Russia will never betray its allies in the Transcaucasus for the sake of geopolitical games, unlike the United States and France, which, in a Russophobic frenzy, are ready to sacrifice the fate of the region and the Kara-bakh settlement.

This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a joint press conference following talks with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan.

He noted “they sacrificed the fate of the region to their Russophobic tasks, at least the role that the troika could play in the fate of the region.”

This is a fact, and they set their priorities quite clearly “Russia will never sacrifice the interests of our closest allies to some geopolitical, much less propagandistic plans and games. We are fully committed to helping Armenia and Azerbaijan to establish a normal life.”

The head of the Russian diplomatic department drew attention to the fact that part of the work to normalize the situation is the delimitation of borders and that last year, at a meeting of the leaders of the Russian Federation, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Sochi, an agreement was reached on the creation of an appropriate bilateral commission with the advisory participation of Russia.
