Kremlin Says Talks Between Putin and Pashinyan Agreed Upon
09:33 GMT 20.09.2023 (Updated: 12:09 GMT 20.09.2023) On Tuesday, Azerbaijan said it had launched "local-level anti-terrorist activities" in Nagorno-Karabakh to allegedly restore constitutional order.
Moscow expects to agree on the terms of a telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Contacts with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev are not being prepared but will take place if necessary, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"We are waiting for the terms of the telephone conversation between President Putin and Prime Minister Pashinyan to be agreed. As soon as this conversation takes place, we will inform you," Peskov said.
Russia's contacts with Armenia continue, it has been and remains Russia's ally and partner, and contacts with Azerbaijan, which is also an important partner of Russia, are also continuing, the official said.
"We continue our contacts with the Armenian side as well. Armenia has been and remains our very important ally, partner, and a country close to us. We also continue contacts with Azerbaijan, which is also a very important partner of ours," Peskov said.
The actions of Azerbaijan in
Nagorno-Karabakh are de jure taking place on its territory, Peskov said.
"We do not accept such reproaches, especially after the official decision of the Armenian side to recognize Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. De jure, now we are talking about the actions of the Republic of Azerbaijan on its territory. Therefore, such accusations against us are absolutely groundless. Based on nothing," Peskov said, commenting on Grigoryan's words.
The Russian military in Nagorno-Karabakh are not engaged in scholasticism, but are doing real things, helping to evacuate civilians, the spokesperson said.
"We continue our contacts with Armenians in Karabakh. Because our military — they are not engaged in such, you know, verbal scholasticism. They are doing concrete things, fulfilling their role as peacekeepers, helping to evacuate civilians — especially children — from dangerous zones, this work continues day and night," Peskov said.
On September 19, Baku launched its "
anti-terrorist operation" in Nagorno-Karabakh to allegedly restore constitutional order. Baku also stated that the Azerbaijani armed forces used high-precision weapons, allegedly targeting Armenian forces in the region. Yerevan, for its part, reiterated that it had no military presence in Nagorno-Karabakh and described the operation as aggression.
