During the Yerevan Dialogue Forum, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan acknowledged Russia's constructive role in the ongoing peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Mirzoyan emphasized that Russia initiated the mediation efforts that brought both nations to the negotiating table, according to Report, which cites Armenian media.
"Russia is the country that started the intermediary process, leading Armenia and Azerbaijan to engage in discussions. This role was later continued by the US, EU, and other countries and partners such as France and Germany," Mirzoyan stated. However, he also recognized that each country has its own interests, which may not always align perfectly with those of Armenia or Azerbaijan.
The Armenian Foreign Minister expressed regret over Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's absence from the forum in Yerevan.
