The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, expressed hope that the peace initiatives developed together with Russia will be implemented in the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.

“This region can be called in a literal sense a nodal region, another region where there is still hope that the peace initiatives agreed by the parties together with Russia will be implemented”,- said Zakharova on Wednesday on Radio Sputnik.
Zakharova called the attempts of the West to infiltrate the situation in the South Caucasus rude. In her view, such a policy was not intended to resolve the conflict, but with "exactly opposite objectives". "“Unfortunately, we have been observing such a trend here for many years. Now the Westerners are even more active," added the diplomat.
