We have always stated at all levels that we are interested in this happening as soon as possible, we have done practically everything for it. Our willingness to continue the support was confirmed by the president himself," said Zakharova.

Touching on the possibility of increasing tension on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, Zakharova reminded Yerevan and Baku of the regular calls to show restraint and avoid any actions fraught with destabilization of the situation.
