Zakharova recalled that the initiative was proposed by Azerbaijan and Turkey. “Russia supported the initiative. We proceed from the fact that the development of multilateral regional cooperation clearly meets the interests of all the proposed participants of the given format.

We see the aspiration of several Western states and first and foremost the United States to obstruct certain processes,” she said.
