Putin dismisses Macron's 'unacceptable' Karabakh comments
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday dismissed comments from his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that Moscow was "destabilising" the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, AFP reported.
On Wednesday, Macron accused Russia of "destabilising" and "seeking to create disorder" in the Caucasus.
The French leader's remarks "show a lack of understanding of the course of the conflict," Putin said during a meeting of leaders of Commonwealth of Independent States members in Kazakhstan.
He added that Macron's accusations "sounded incorrect" and were "unacceptable".
"There will be an opportunity" to "discuss" this with Macron, Putin said as he also invited the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to Russia for talks "at any time, in any place".
"Russia has always sincerely sought to resolve any conflicts, including issues related to Karabakh," he said.
