 Russia, Armenian-Azerbaijani normalization is not an easy process. The Armenian-Azerbaijani normalization is not an easy process, but there is no alternative to peace, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said. Related issues were discussed, in particular yesterday at a trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Moscow, she said. We expect that the above-mentioned contacts will take place in the coming months, Zakharova noted that the process of reconciliation between Azerbaijan and Armenia should also cover the humanitarian sphere. As was noted in the tripartite statement of the leaders of Russia-Azerbaijani, Armenia dated October 31, it is important to create a positive atmosphere for continuing the dialogue between public representatives, expert communities, religious leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia with Russian assistance, as well as for launching trilateral inter-parliamentary contacts in order to build confidence between the peoples of the two countries, she said. Grigori Karasin, head of the Russian Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, noted that despite the difficulties of the negotiation process on a peace treaty between Baku and Yerevan, taking into account the rights and security of the Armenian population of Karabakh in the context of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, the meeting in Moscow was a necessary and timely step. The participants reached an agreement to continue the efforts of the trilateral working group at the level of deputy prime ministers to unblock transport communications, he stressed. The head of the committee added that the parties showed their intention to find solutions to problems through joint efforts. The ministers agreed to intensify contacts between political scientists and civil society.
