Armenia is refusing to take part in a meeting with Azerbaijan on Friday in Moscow in preparation for peace talks to resolve the Karabakh conflict, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Thursday said"Russian peacekeepers are doing everything possible to ensure order and calm in the territories where they are deployed."
"The situation in the area of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, which has worsened due to the closure of the Lachin corridor and disagreements between the parties on the development of ore deposits in the region, was discussed,” said the statement, referring to a road used by Armenia to access parts of the Karabakh region.
Lavrov also underlined the importance of continuing "the rhythmic work" of implementing trilateral statements of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, signed in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Baku claims the protest was spontaneous and civilian transport can move freely in both directions between Armenia and Karabakh.
