MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/: Certain Western countries are attempting to destabilize the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh and are openly struggling against Russia in the region, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview on the Rossiya-1 TV channel.
"Such struggle was with diplomatic masks worn sometime probably about three, four, five years ago. These masks were thrown off long ago at present and the struggle is head-on, with visors raised," Peskov said, commenting on statements of Western politicians about the task of ousting Russian peacekeepers from the region and rupture ties between Russia and Armenia.
"The whole range of countries is indeed attempting to continue destabilizing situation around Nagorno-Karabakh, which by the way has already resulted in an official statement made by the Azerbaijani side that this number of countries could hardly claim any intermediary role anymore, because they had taken a one-sided position," he added.
