Moscow accused Washington of plans to open a second front against Russia in South Caucasus
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Mikhail Galuzin, warned of Washington’s intentions to open a second front against Russia from the South Caucasus, and noted that the United States didn’t hide these intentions for a long time.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister stressed that this behavior fundamentally conflicts with the interests of the peoples of the region.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also hinted that Armenia is showing intentions to radically change its foreign policy based on a suggestion or incentive from the West.
Zakharova confirmed that the actions of the United States and the European Union aim to expel Russia from the South Caucasus region.
Last year, Yerevan and Baku began discussing a future peace treaty brokered by Russia, the United States and the European Union.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced in May that Yerevan was ready to recognize Azerbaijan’s sovereignty within Soviet borders.
Last September, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the Armenian leadership essentially recognized Azerbaijan’s sovereignty over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev confirmed that his country and Armenia may sign a peace treaty before the end of the year if Yerevan doesn’t change its positions.
