The regional platform “3+3” is already “taking shape” and becoming more and more promising. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated this when opening negotiations with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov.
“Ilham Aliyev’s “3+3” initiative on the formation of the so-called “3+3” regional platform - three South Caucasian countries and their three neighbors is already taking shape. This is a promising format. I will be glad to hear your assessments about further steps in this direction,” Lavrov said, turning to Bayramov.
In October of this year, participants in the meeting in the “3+3” format (Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, Iran, Armenia, Georgia) on the South Caucasus in Tehran confirmed that “the platform is open for equal participation of Georgia.”
Let us recall that Georgia rejected this initiative, saying that it could not cooperate with Russia, which occupied South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
