Dmitry Peskov, Spokesman for the President of the Russian Federation, during an interview with the Russian newspaper Argumenty i Fakty (Arguments and Facts) said that Russia has good relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan and that everyone should remember Putin’s personal role in ending last year’s war in Karabakh.

Peskov made the remark when replying to the question whether there are any fears that Russia will lose friendly countries in the Caucasus after the events in Karabakh.

"We have wonderful, trustworthy relations with Azerbaijan based on mutual respect. These relations have many layers, which are mutually beneficial. We also have good historical relations with Armenia. We have many integration processes that bring great benefits to Armenia, both politically and economically. What about what happened ․․․ Everyone should remember Putin's personal role in ending the war," Peskov said.
