Moscow Says Received No Official Request From Turkiye to Hold Meeting on Nagorno-Karabakh
10:54 GMT 19.09.2023 (Updated: 12:35 GMT 20.09.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia did not yet receive any official request from Turkiye to hold a quadrilateral meeting on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.
"Yes, we have seen such materials in the media, but we have not yet received official requests from Turkiye," Zakharova told a briefing.
Russia traditionally maintains a close dialogue with Ankara on the international agenda, including the situation in the South Caucasus, the spokeswoman said.
Moscow is in contact with Baku in light of the "anti-terrorist measures" launched by Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, Zakharova said.
"We are currently in contact with the Azerbaijani side. In the near future, following the results of the contacts, a corresponding statement will be made through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Regarding the notification, we receive this information from the Azerbaijani side," Zakharova told reporters.
The Russian peacekeeping contingent continues to fulfill its tasks amid the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, and Moscow expects that the security of the peacekeepers will be ensured by all the parties, Maria Zakharova said.
"The Russian peacekeeping contingent continues to fulfill its tasks. We proceed from the assumption that the security of our peacekeepers will be unconditionally ensured by all parties. The command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent is in constant contact with representatives of the Armenians of Karabakh and the Azerbaijani authorities in order to cease fire and return to the implementation of the trilateral agreements at the highest level," Zakharova told a briefing.
Media reports that Azerbaijan allegedly warned Russian peacekeepers in advance about the "anti-terrorist measures" in Nagorno-Karabakh do not correspond to reality, Zakharova said.
"Media are disseminating information that the Azerbaijani side allegedly warned Russian peacekeepers 'in advance' about today’s 'anti-terrorist operation' in Nagorno-Karabakh. This is not true," Zakharova wrote on Telegram, adding that Baku informed Moscow a few minutes before it began the operation.
Earlier in the day, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry announced the beginning of local "anti-terrorist activities" in
Nagorno-Karabakh to restore the constitutional order.
