“Russia, probably more than anyone else, is interested in seeing a lasting, just peace be established in this region between two states friendly to us,” he said.

Earlier, Lavrov expressed regret over the refusal of his Armenian colleague Ararat Mirzoyan to come to Moscow for negotiations with Azerbaijan.

Press Secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Vahan Hunanyan specified that Armenia did not refuse the trilateral meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, but asked to postpone it.
