Sergei Lavrov responds to Nikol Pashinyan

Report informs, citing TASS, that the minister said he had difficulty answering the question about the issue.

"It is difficult for me to answer this question. Because we have not seen the concrete proposals that the Prime Minister of Armenia wants to discuss in the context of Russia's peacekeeping operation in Karabakh," he stressed.

Lavrov also said that Armenia has the right to take additional initiatives.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the government meeting held on August 4 that the activities of Russian peacekeepers temporarily stationed in Azerbaijan raise questions.
