The Russian side continues to contribute to the resolution of the complicated humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh based on the initiative of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov regarding the parallel unblocking of Lachin and Aghdam routes for humanitarian cargo transportation.
According to “Armenpress”, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova announced. The text of her statement is posted on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“On 18 September, with the efforts of the International Committee of the Red Cross, with the participation of the Russian peacekeeping contingent and the Russian Foreign Ministry, batches of food and medicine were simultaneously delivered to the region from both directions. We expect the continuation of unhindered and regular humanitarian supplies based on the interests of the local population,” Zakharova stressed.
She expressed hope that the gradual improvement of the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh will create conditions for starting a dialogue between Baku and Stepanakert and for resuming the rhythmic work aimed at the implementation of the entire complex of high-level tripartite agreements of the leaders on the regulation of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations in 2020-2022.
“We are fully interested in maintaining peace and stability in the South Caucasus,” she said.
