the U.S. Embassy spokesperson was asked about the "3+3" format.
„As we’ve said before, Russia should focus on honoring its 2008 ceasefire commitments before proposing new discussion platforms“, - The U.S. Embassy spokesperson said.
The first meeting of the so-called 3+3 regional consultative mechanism in the South Caucasus took place in Moscow on December 10, attended by deputy foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia, Turkey as well as Director-General of Iran's Foreign Ministry.
Despite the absence of the Georgian side, the Russian ministry called the format '3+3'. It is noted that the representatives of participating countries expressed interest in Georgia's joining the platform and stated 'the door remains open“. Georgia earlier rejected the idea.
