Lavrov expressed doubts about the agreement between Yerevan and Baku

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a meeting with MGIMO students on September 8 that it would be necessary to assess how the agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan reached in the United States would actually work.

"We need to see how it is (the agreement between Baku and Yerevan. It will work because all the enthusiastic reviews that were heard in the first few days after the meeting in Washington, these exclamations were later replaced by skeptical assessments when the document was published. And, as it turns out, far from everything has been agreed there," Lavrov said.

The Russian Foreign Minister also noted that the current agreement grew out of the agreements reached in 2020-2022 between the presidents of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
