Commenting on the ceasefire agreement that Russia brokered to end the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said: “I’m sure that if we fulfill all that has been agreed on, everyone will win and this will be a win-win situation.”
Commenting on the demonstrations against Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for signing the agreement, Lavrov declared that “We see protests that have now erupted in Yerevan and we see how much the opposition is trying to speculate on this situation... .” but he acknowledged “there are, of course, sincere people there who are probably offended that everything is ending like this at this stage.”
Lavrov affirmed that “unblocking all communications: transport and economic links should play a big positive role for the region’s revival, including for the recovery of the Armenian economy that suffered more than others due to the termination of trade and transport links of Azerbaijan and the Turkish Republic.
