ANKARA, April 7. /TASS/. Russia expects that non-regional actors will not interfere with the settlement in the South Caucasus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a news conference following talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Friday.

"We hope that some of our extra-regional colleagues will not interfere with these processes (settlement in the South Caucasus - TASS) and orient the parties towards the strict implementation of the trilateral Russian-Armenian-Azerbaijani agreements," he said.

He stressed that these agreements "remain the main basis for further work."

Russia is in favor of deepening cooperation among countries in the region.

"We welcome the process of normalization between Armenia and Turkey, launched with our support. We welcome efforts to unblock transport links in the region and, of course, to promote the post-conflict restoration of the South Caucasus," Lavrov said.
