Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova was asked to express Moscow's attitude as one of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group to the statement of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on Karabakh, ArmInfo reports.
"We proceed from the fact that, of course, there is internal rhetoric, and there are those internal attitudes that reflect the views of political parties and movements - given that we are talking about democracy state, and there is that very peace process in which there are participants in the process, there are international efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement, and, of course, we proceed from the fact that the statements of the parties should fit into the context of these general efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement "
At the same time, she expressed her conviction that it is very difficult to always return to previous positions in the negotiation process after statements that have become or are becoming such an "apple of discord" and bring additional questions, or unbalance the fragile negotiation process, so to speak.
