🇦🇲🇹🇷 Now we have a situation where, for the first time since independence, we are the closest to the normalization of [Armenian-Turkish] relations. I think we should use those opportunities if the opposite side's motivations are really sincere, because we have had the experience of normalizing relations when the Turkish side backed down at some point. It is natural that they have their own interests, and we must take into account that these interests do not often coincide with ours. [Alen Simonyan] |1lurer.am|
🇷🇺 Sergey Lavrov stated at a joint press conference with Jeyhun Bayramov that the creation of checkpoints in the Lachin corridor is not planned.
🗣 "The mode of operation of the Lachine Corridor must fully comply with the first tripartite declaration of November 9, which means the need to ensure the free movement of civil and humanitarian goods and civilians. This is exactly what we are striving for, first of all through the Russian peacekeeping force. There is no plan to create any checkpoints there (in the Lachin Corridor-ed.)," he said.

📌 RA Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan participated in the 52nd session of the UN Human Rights Council and delivered a speech.
🗣 "We believe that the protection of the human rights of the people of Nagorno Karabakh has been continuously neglected. It has been around 80 days since Azerbaijan blocked the Lachin Corridor, the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia and the world. Azerbaijan has also disrupted the electricity supply and regularly interrupts the gas supply. As a result, the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh are on the verge of a humanitarian disaster. At the same time, Azerbaijan announces at the highest level that it can lift the blockade for all those who want to leave Nagorno-Karabakh. This is nothing more than slow ethnic cleansing." 🔗 Read more

🇷🇺 Lavrov stated that they see how the EU openly "abuses" its relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan, including by advancing "its so-called mission that raises serious doubts from the point of view of legitimacy" in the territory of Armenia. According to him, the mission raises many questions. "Nevertheless, it is the sovereign choice of the parties, with whom to cooperate, with whom not," he said.
📌 He added that Russia is guided by the principle of non-harm and support in its actions. "Not all players are guided by such principles, especially those who are far from the South Caucasus. They want to work here not for something, but against someone. We see it and we are sure that the parties directly involved in the process also see it," Lavrov said at a joint press conference with the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Bayramov.
