Baku and Yerevan are ready to finalize a peace treaty, TASS reports citing Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
"They are not opposing sides. They state their full readiness to reach a common document, to finalize the peace talks, to reach a common document, a peace treaty. There is no risk here," he said.
An informal CIS summit is taking place in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attending in person.
According to him, Moscow is ready to assist Armenia and Azerbaijan in finalizing their work on a peace treaty.
He underscored that Russia was not forcing anyone to accept its mediator services. However, Moscow fully realized the importance of completing the peace treaty, Peskov said.
"It is very important for us that our two partners and allies - not only within the CIS framework but also within our high-level bilateral relations - signed this treaty as soon as possible," Peskov said, adding that signing the document would bring about the atmosphere of peace, stability and predictability in the Caucasus region, which is of utmost importance for Moscow.
