Russia sees Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s positive mindset towards mutually acceptable package agreements on Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian Foreign Ministry Deputy Spokesperson Alexei Zaitsev said on Thursday, according to TASS news agency. 

"It is very important to ensure possibilities for finding mutually acceptable solutions" on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, he said. "The readiness for opening a new page in relations and their gradual normalization expressed at the top level both by Baku and Yerevan is a confirmation of the objective need for such a mindset. We focus our efforts on such positive things."

"On our part, we see Yerevan’s and Baku’s positive mindset towards reaching mutually acceptable package agreements, which will make it possible to bring the joint work up to the level of project cooperation," he said.

According to the Russian diplomat, Moscow sees a "lasting and sustainable solution" to the "problem of incidents at certain sections of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border" in the establishment of a commission on the state border delimitation with its subsequent demarcation. "The Russian side outlined and referred to Yerevan’s and Baku’s consideration proposals on the launch of a corresponding negotiating process. We are waiting for a response from the partners," he added.
