MOSCOW, April 14. /TASS/. Russia is forced to raise the issue of transferring the discussions on South Caucasus to another country from Switzerland, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"We have repeatedly drawn the Swiss side's attention to the fact that its irresponsible adherence to the collective West's openly hostile course toward Russia, including joining all of the European Union's ‘packages’of anti-Russian sanction, as well as complete solidarity with the Kiev regime, violates the declared ‘neutrality’,"she said.
"In this context, the Russian side was forced to bring to a practical level the issue of transferring the International Geneva discussions on security and stability in the South Caucasus to another country, whose authorities actually refrain from any actions detrimental to the interests of any of the participants of this negotiating format," the diplomat added.
Zakharova emphasized that "several states rightfully lay claim to such a role, and some of them have already agreed to provide their territory for holding regular discussion meetings."
