Russia is ready to provide a platform for negotiations between representatives of Yerevan and Baku.

"According to the agreements reached, Moscow has repeatedly accepted the stages of the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations on the draft peace treaty. We are ready, we have always emphasized it, to do it in the future as well. We guarantee the creation of the most comfortable conditions for the work of the two delegations, in a bilateral format preferred by them," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a press briefing.

Zakharova noted that Russia considers the conclusion of a balanced peace agreement between the parties as an irreplaceable prerequisite for building a security architecture in the region.

According to Zakharova, the fate and future of the South Caucasus "must be decided exclusively by the countries of the region and neighboring partner countries, and no one from outside will bring prosperity there."
