US needs Azerbaijan’s approval to send mission to Karabakh: Kremlin
MOSCOW (AA) – Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that the US has to get prior approval from Azerbaijan to send a mission to the Karabakh region.
Commenting on the US proposal to establish a human rights monitoring mission in Karabakh, Peskov said at a news conference in Moscow that “any mission (on Karabakh’s territory) may exist only with the consent of the Azerbaijani side.”
As for Russia, it continues contacts with all sides, including the Armenian population of Karabakh, he said.
The spokesman noted that the level of Russian and US involvement in the processes taking place in Karabakh cannot be compared.
“You know the role played by our peacekeepers in accordance with the existing mandate, we intend to continue,” he declared.
When asked about media reports, claiming that US President Joe Biden has sent a letter to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan inviting him to strengthen security and energy cooperation, Peskov said, “Hardly anything can be compared with the depth of integration that Armenia has with the Russian economy.”
