"We will provide all necessary support in organizing the next meetings of the trilateral working group chaired by the vice-premiers for unblocking economic and transport ties in the region, and the commission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, as well as new rounds of negotiations on the preparation of a peace treaty at the level of the heads of foreign ministries," Zakharova said.
