Iran Press/ Europe: Lavrov made his comments after another in a series of meetings between senior officials from both ex-Soviet states left unresolved the notion of clinching a durable peace treaty.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought two wars in the past 30 years over Karabakh. In a six-week war in 2020, Azerbaijan recaptured large swathes of territory held by Armenia since soon after the collapse of Soviet rule.
"We are counting on the process of talks to continue," Lavrov said on the Russian Foreign Ministry website after talks in Moscow with his Armenian and Azeri counterparts.
"But there should be no attempts artificially to impose an agreement of one sort or another not based on the interests of the Armenian or Azeri peoples just for the sake of catchy headlines or geopolitical or domestic policy considerations."
