The six-member platform (the idea of launching a consultative regional mechanism with the participation of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Russia, Iran, and Turkey) would meet the interests of all its potential participants by contributing to a stronger peace and confidence as well as leading to stimulating economic processes and cooperation in the South Caucasus, said Maria Zakharova the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry at the weekly briefing.

"Moscow still focuses on the normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” Zakharova said. “This is also the central theme of the policy of Baku and Yerevan. Our main efforts are concentrated on the implementation of the trilateral agreements."

"Among the priorities are the process of solving the humanitarian issues in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the de-escalation of tension on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border as well as the restoration of transport and economic ties in the South Caucasus," a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

It should be noted that after the peace declaration signed between Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia on November 10, the idea of establishing a number of platforms together with the countries of the Caucasus and neighboring regions became more popular.
