During the tripartite meeting with President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the establishment of border demarcation mechanisms between Armenia and Azerbaijan had been agreed before the end of the year.

The Russian President expressed the hope that this would be agreed as soon as possible, while noting that "there are no obstacles to the establishment of such mechanisms."

The Vice-Prime Ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia would meet in Moscow next week to summarize some of the results and to announce the decisions that had been agreed upon.

In addition, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that Moscow supported normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia, stressing that this would contribute positively to the situation in the region.
