[Presenter] Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister [Grigol Vashadze]
has reacted to the official meetings held in Yerevan [between the
Russian and Armenian presidents]. Grigol Vashadze said that the
Russian president’s initiative to mediate between the sides [in the
settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict between Armenia and
Azerbaijan] resembles an attempt to get on a train, which has already
departed. Here is what Vashadze said.
[Vashadze] This statement by the president of the Russian Federation
resembles an attempt to hop on a train, which has already departed,
because Turkish-mediated talks between the sides are already under way.
I would like to say one thing to our Armenian and Azerbaijani friends:
God save them from Russia’s mediation role.
