Content of peace treaty is determined by Armenia and Azerbaijan, Russia only facilitates the process- Lavrov

YEREVAN, December 29. /ARKA/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded to a question whether the Russian Federation expected Armenia and Azerbaijan to sign a peace treaty in the coming months and whether it would stipulate the status of Nagorno-Karabakh.

"It would be logical to address this question to the negotiating parties, i.e. Baku and Yerevan. It is they who set the dynamics of the contacts and determine the content of the future peace treaty. Russia, which is linked both with Azerbaijan and Armenia by relations of strategic partnership and alliance, provides all possible assistance to this process, in the form and amount that our Azerbaijani and Armenian friends are interested in," Lavrov was quoted as saying by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Armenia had submitted its proposals for a peace treaty to Azerbaijan a few months ago and was ready to sign a peace agreement based on them. -0-
