We hope that it will happen as soon as possible; of course, not to the detriment of quality. Therefore, together with everyone, we are waiting for when that work will be completed.

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan did not negotiate in Saint Petersburg, Russia on Tuesday, but all of them had the opportunity to have short contacts, Peskov noted.
