Many expectations around Nagorno-Karabakh were associated with the mediation of France and President Emmanuel Macron personally, Russian Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova recalled in an interview with RT France․
“Look what this has led to. Paris tried to intercept this mediation agenda and say that France would be better able to mediate than anyone else, especially Russia. While Russia fulfilled its functions as a mediator, there were really good, fundamental grounds for moving along a peaceful path to a settlement,” she said.
As soon as Western ideology began to wedge itself into the situation, everything changed, the diplomat noted.
According to Zakharova, this can serve as a lesson for everyone who will lean towards the West in the issue of its mediation.
“After all, Paris this time did not even consider it necessary to find any words in order to somehow explain,” the Foreign Ministry representative emphasized.
