Russia offers to host Armenia-Azerbaijan peace treaty signing

Russia is prepared to provide a venue for Armenia and Azerbaijan to sign a peace treaty, Mikhail Galuzin, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, has stated.

He said Moscow remains ready to assist Baku and Yerevan in unblocking transport and economic links, resolving humanitarian issues, and facilitating the peace process, Caliber.Az reports, citing Russian media.

According to him, Russia consistently supports the efforts of Azerbaijan and Armenia aimed at achieving full and comprehensive normalisation of relations in line with the trilateral agreements reached by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020–2022.

Galuzin also highlighted the potential of the 3+3 regional cooperation platform, which brings together Russia, Iran, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia.

“We see significant potential in the 3+3 regional cooperation platform,” he said, adding that the mechanism is designed to help address regional challenges through the efforts of the countries of the region and their neighbours, “without destructive interference from outside.”
