The Kremlin: Russia continues its efforts to arrange a truce between Armenia and Azerbaijan

Moscow-Sana

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that Moscow continues to coordinate to reach a truce between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"Russia will continue to mediate in the settlement of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and it is only possible to achieve stability through the implementation of the terms of the Karabakh Agreement," Peskov was quoted by Sputnik news agency as saying, adding that the Russian side would continue to do so and we still hope that the only way to achieve stability is the implementation of the tripartite agreements.

Yesterday, Armenia and Azerbaijan announced that there had been casualties on both sides, after clashes in the border areas.

To that, Peskov explained that "the Kremlin does not see a political reason for Germany to suspend the licensing of the (North Stream 2) pipeline, as all requirements are met by the implementing company in order to launch the gas pipeline as soon as possible."

Germany announced yesterday that it has suspended Nord Stream 2 AG's certification as an independent operator of the (North Stream 2) pipeline, and this gas pipeline operator can be certified as an independent operator only if the legal formula is reorganized in accordance with German law.

The (North Stream 2) line is scheduled to transport gas with a capacity of 55 billion cubic meters annually from the Russian coast across the Baltic Sea to Germany and is now operated by Nord Stream 2 AG with the sole shareholder, Gazprom.

The project is opposed by the United States, which is promoting its liquefied natural gas to the European Union, as well as Ukraine, which fears losing the transit of Russian gas to Europe through its territory.

Russia has repeatedly called to stop mentioning (Northern Stream 2) in the context of any politicization because it is a commercial project beneficial to both Russia and the European Union.
