"We take note of the generally constructive attitude demonstrated by both Baku and Yerevan within the trilateral working group chaired by the vice-premiers of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan," the diplomat said.

Zakharova recalled that the main task of the working group is to implement the agreements reached by the leaders of the three countries to unblock all economic and transport links in the region.

The Deputy PMs first meet in person on January 30 in Moscow to discuss new transport communications that would link Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan.
