Russian Ambassador to Armenia: Russia ready to continue taking  necessary actions to ensure Armenia`s sovereignty

ArmInfo.  Russia has taken, is taking, and is ready to take all necessary actions to help ensure Armenia's sovereignty, its territorial integrity, and achieve  normalization in relations with its neighbors, as stated by Russian  Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin in an interview with  Euromedia24.

Noting that much has already been done in this direction, the  diplomat cited as an example the trilateral statements signed at the  highest level in 2020-2022 on key aspects of normalizing the  situation in the region, the establishment of a working group to  facilitate communication at the level of deputy prime ministers. He  recalled the proposal of the Russian Federation, which remains in  force, to use the Russian platform to sign a peace treaty between  Armenia and Azerbaijan. "Now we see that they have taken a stance on  a bilateral format for discussing these issues. We respect this  decision. However, we have publicly reiterated our readiness to  provide assistance in the forms, volumes, and issues that are needed  by both parties. This stance was communicated in the past, and  continues to be our position," Kopyrkin said.

The diplomat emphasized that the normalization of the situation in  the South Caucasus, along with the opening of communications is  crucial for stability,  peace and a secure future in the region,  which is a vital interest of the Russian Federation.
