Zakharova slams Armenian media for distorting Russian leadership’s statements on Baku-Yerevan ties

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova has said that Armenian media shamelessly twisted the words and actions of the Russian leadership regarding the normalisation of relations between Baku and Yerevan.

Zakharova noted that Azerbaijan has returned its own territories recognised by the international community, Report informs.

"The above-mentioned throw-ins and fakes are intended to confuse the Armenian and international community," she said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson reminded that it was the Armenian leadership that recognised Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory, which can be traced by the relevant quotes of the country's officials.

Zakharova stressed that attention should be paid to these statements, and not to "throw-ins" by Armenian media and not to "attempts to invent something that did not happen".
