MOSCOW: Russia considers Armenia its ally and remains in contact with its leadership, but rejects Yerevan’s attempts to blame Moscow for the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
Russia will work on ensuring that the rights of ethnic Armenians in Karabakh are respected, Peskov said.
