Armenia assumed that its occupation policy would be supported by Russia, said Chairman of the Center of Analysis of International Relations Farid Shafiyev at the year-end press conference, News.az reports.

"Since 2019, Armenia has not taken any steps with regard to the Madrid proposals. At least, there was a question about the return of 5 districts. They refused it, too. Naturally, all this was perceived negatively by Russia," he added.
