Russia has its historical and natural interests in the South Caucasus, and the Western countries use our achievements only to "penetrate" the region, said Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. According to her, it is difficult to overestimate the significance of the tripartite statement by the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan. This is reported

"The US and the EU, trying to assume the role of a mediator, could not find anything new, they used our solutions, but distorted them, hoping to take over the peace process. They want to take the region under their control, push out the Russian Federation together with Iran and Turkey, create another source of tension, they don't care about the fate of the South Caucasus," Zakharova said.
