Russia welcomes the continuation of direct communications between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, during a briefing, in reference to the meeting that took place between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Brussels on December 14.

“The meeting of the two leaders took place last night, and information about the content of the discussion is still coming in; we are analyzing it,” noted Zakharova.
