[000:00:00;00] part of azerbaijan finally after last year, i think, in november, in my opinion, at a meeting in prague, prime minister pashinyan made, made a statement that radically changed the status of karabakh, that is, it determined the status karabakh, and armenia recognized that karabakh is part of the republic of azerbaijan, so... in all previous years everything revolved around the same issue: the status of karabakh, but i won’t go into detail, but i want to say that we have been there many times, on over the previous decades, were close to an agreement on karabakh, what was always the problem? agreed

that a referendum should be held. but one side said that it could not name the date of this referendum, this is azerbaijan, because if in the current conditions the referendum is held, and no matter when, tomorrow, or even in 20 years, the result of the referendum will be clear, so it was proposed to simply refer this is for the decision of future generations, and the armenian side, on the contrary, insisted on determining: before the referendum, at this referendum to determine the status of karabakh, because they also proceeded from the fact that the referendum will be held, even if after 20 years, then with the current composition of the population the result will be obvious, that was the point, the problem, everything is around it was spinning, you see, this was the most important snag, in this, that is, in determining

the status, but now well... last year in prague, the armenian leadership closed this topic , said karabakh is a part of azerbaijan, even indicated the number of square kilometers and remained on the agreement of 1991, when the state borders of the former soviet republics were determined according to the borders that developed in the soviet union, the entire topic is closed. therefore, when in the twentieth year, in november, we agreed on the presence of our peacekeepers in this territory, firstly, their mandate consisted of only one thing, to monitor the ceasefire, and secondly, the final status of karabakh was not was determined, this is the essence of the problem, i repeat again, and when armenia recognized that karabakh is part

azerbaijan, then it turned out that our peacekeepers are already... without any doubt , on the territory of the azerbaijani republic, and of course, now, especially after these, frankly speaking, difficult events associated with the exodus of the armenian population, and now the situation is of course has already completely changed dramatically, but formally we are there, our peacekeepers are there until november 2025, and of course, in dialogue with our partners, we will have to decide on what and how we will do in the near future, but this - in the process of negotiations we will decide, and in terms of a peaceful agreement between yerevan and baku, is there a prospect, i talked about this today, well, i don’t know, it’s, in my opinion, even our corresponding pools were removed there, i said that we will be ready to facilitate the resumption of peaceful negotiations, in the hope

of concluding a peace agreement, and invited all colleagues to gather in moscow, prime minister pashinyan knows about this, i told him, the president of azerbaijan knows about this, it seems to me that this it's quite possible, i just don't i see no problems that could prevent the conclusion of a peace treaty now after the events in karabakh, i just don’t see such problems, there are issues of a purely technical nature related to the border. demarcations, delimitation, but these are technical issues, i think, 100 meters in one direction, there are kilometers in the other, it doesn’t matter anymore, with good will on both sides , all this can be done, and the next steps can be taken, as we once agreed on the development of trade and economic relations and the development of infrastructure projects, thank you,

mitz news, yesterday you said that the air base in kanti plays an important... role in ensuring security in the region, while the american media write that all the equipment, the nsw, that the base is empty, after all, does it retain a the proper level, and its own base today, the day before the kyrgyz parliament ratified an agreement on the creation of joint air defense systems. what is the significance of this step, thank you, well , you’re reading the american media in vain, firstly, they often distort reality a lot, just listen the former president of the united states, listen to him, he will give you a good description of the current level of development of the american media, they will teach you no good. as for kant, yes, at one time president takaev called me and asked me to urgently create such a unit, because, as you remember, you probably remember, a fairly large group of militants from

afghanistan came in and had already begun their movement, hopefully across kyrgyzstan, the opportunity to offer resistance from the then army of kyrgyzstan there was practically none. so neighboring states tried to help with the help of aviation, and since it was all spontaneous, they ended up in the wrong place and the effect was quite small, so president takaev called and asked to urgently take the necessary measures, we did this at the request of the kyrgyz side, but this is an active unit, i have already said where and how they are they worked, well, this is such a deterrent factor for various extremists, there is an aviation wing there, combat aircraft, helicopters, they are on the ground, they

exist, they are on combat duty, service, everyday issues are being resolved, we are grateful for this to the president of kyrgyzstan , the current leader, he is also doing a lot to strengthen the aviation wing, at the same time they are the odb, creating a certain stability of the entire group of peacekeeping forces. what about the joint air defense system? and, this is a very important, very important event, the creation of an air defense system, especially bearing in mind that in general these are high-tech and expensive elements for ensuring the security of all our countries, therefore, everyone agreed with this... agreed, not just agreed, but expressed a desire to develop this security component, so we will move on this issue, of course, the question is not only about signing documents, the question is about creating this system at the department, we will

deal with this, including, by the way, keeping in mind that the experience we gain during special military operations. chernyaeva, my question is about the ruble exchange rate. you recently signed a decree on the mandatory repatriation and sale of foreign exchange earnings on the domestic market. to what extent will these measures help stabilize the situation on the market, because the market does not yet have a clear understanding of some of the details of this document, for example, which companies are subject to this requirement, and is there confidence that the steps taken will be sufficient to reduce volatility? confidence? only an insurance policy, only if you are insured by a reliable insurance company, let's see how this instrument will work, but this is the result of the work of the government, the administration,

the president and the central bank, this is a decree signed by me, this is the result collaboration, there are different approaches to solving this problem, there are problems, they are connected with a certain imbalance of cash flows, primarily currency-related flows, at the first stage we de-bureaucratized everything as much as possible, well, due to various circumstances, i won’t repeat them now, i’m sure you if you ask such questions, you understand what we are talking about after the start of a special military operation, but our economic operators quickly coped with all the problems that they tried to create for them from the run. and now there is reason to believe that the ruble exchange rate is fluctuating, partly because foreign exchange earnings are not being returned in sufficient quantities to use this,

this money supply in the domestic market, i don’t know how effective this will be, in my opinion , there will be an effect, there will be an effect, 100%, i repeat, there are different approaches. the central bank has its own views, the government has its own, the administration has its own, a little bit, but the signed decree is the result of such a compromise between - specialists, between experts, say, and certainly , logic in decisions are made, we understand the possible threats associated with the movement of capital, so nothing lasts forever, let's see how it works, which means we'll see how the institution of these special commissioners of rosfinitoring will work, by the way, i want to draw your attention to.

.. the fact that they are not appointed to regulate and manage something, only for one purpose, to have reliable and complete information about these cash flows, that’s all, so that the state is aware of the events taking place, but if so we, if all our services have achieved a certain compromise , which is set out in this decree, we all proceed from the fact that there should be a positive... a positive result, kommersant newspaper, could you indicate your position regarding mikhail fridman and people in general, who were abroad and decided to return , what awaits them at home, does it depend on what they said and did abroad, and thought, well, roughly speaking, could their history of relations with the state be reset to zero? moreover, in

this story, if there were any blots, there are different opinions, the future of each of us depends on what we do today, this applies to everyone, people living here , living abroad, moving, we have a free country, and a person has the right to choose a place of residence as he sees fit for myself, there are no restrictions here, and i don’t see anything immoral here. the question is in the behavior of this or that person, in his actions, and if this action is such that it violates the current laws in russia, then naturally, everyone must answer for this, no matter where he is whether he was here or abroad, this is the first , second thing that awaits this or that person upon returning to his homeland, this also depends on how he behaved, is it one thing to break the law?

and it’s another thing to violate some moral and ethical norms in relation to one’s family, if in the consciousness of the overwhelming majority, not just some, not some part of some elite, but the overwhelming majority of citizens, the person behaved immorally in relations with russia, then, of course, he will feel it when he returns here, but how else, please, vladimir vladimirovich, from your point of view, regarding the palestinian-israeli conflict, is there a prospect of resolving it in the coming weeks, or at least the coming months, and how is the russian side ready to contribute to this process? well, israel, of course, faced such an unprecedented attack, which has never happened in history, and not only in scale, but in the nature of execution and cruelty, well , what can i say, we must always call it by its proper name, and israel responds on a large scale and also

with quite cruel methods, of course we we understand the logic of events, but despite all the bitterness on both sides , i still believe that - well, of course, we need to think about the civilian population, i have already spoken about this and i want to repeat it, now we are seeing that even in the united states there are ... and this means that assessments of what is happening, and various options for the development of events appear , including, it is said that in relation to the gas sector, measures can be taken, military and non-military in nature, but of the same plan as and during the siege of leningrad, in

during the second world war. what is this connected with, in my opinion this is unacceptable, more than two million people live there, not everyone supports hamas, by the way, not everyone, and everyone should suffer, including women and children, well, of course, this is unlikely who will agree, but on the other hand, i said, today at a meeting with colleagues , israel, of course, has the right to ensure its security and this security, but we need to find these, find these tools, find these, find this way out of the situation, in my opinion, of course, it can also be achieved as a result of some kind of mediation efforts. we, too, have already spoken about this more than once; many of our compatriots, former citizens of the soviet union and russia, live in israel, this factor is real for us,

of course, we cannot forget about it, but on the other hand, we and the arab world have a very good relations, many years, decades, first of all, of course, with palestine, which at one time promised that a palestinian state would be created with, with the capital in east jerusalem, they were promised, decisions were made at the un level , well, they have the right to count on the fulfillment of these promises, all this must be combined, but of course, first of all, think about the people who... not at all are to blame for today’s escalation and does that no one sees it, understands it and puts it out of the equation, this is impossible, but russia can help with this, and russia can, precisely because we have very good relations with israel relations over the last, say,

15 years, absolutely absolutely, well, traditional relations with palestine, so no one will suspect us of wanting to play along with someone, this is possible, do you have any information about how much this flow of american movement, american weapons, can upset the world

regarding the black market from the territory of ukraine is clear, but i don’t know what the woman said, he, i don’t know, but i doubt that there were deliveries of weapons from ukraine, i doubt it, but i have no doubt that there is a leak of weapons from ukraine, well, the level corruption in it is known to ukraine, it is very high, and the black market is developing in such a way that there are many people who want to buy, and in ukraine there are many people who want to sell. you know, i remember well, this is the tragic history of the russian federation itself, in the mid-nineties, we unfortunately had repeated cases when there was a war in the caucasus, the sale

of weapons from our armed forces to the opposite side, the one that... .with the russian army in the caucasus, they took it directly from our warehouses and sold it for money, unfortunately, it was, it’s a disaster, a tragedy, but it was, the same thing is happening today, in ukraine, they sell anything, everything that can be sold, they sell everything, if weapons are sold, they sell weapons, especially since they sell them to russia, although if they sell it in russia, i won’t be surprised. why? i’m not kidding, but on the international market through the countries of africa, the middle east, it goes without saying, they definitely sell it, but the market, the black market for weapons , is structured in such a way that those who want to buy find these weapons, i repeat, through the

third, fourth hands, nothing here there is nothing unusual, so of course we have data. about arms sales to, including the middle east , well, but it doesn’t, it doesn’t look like i have no sympathy for the current leadership of ukraine, it’s understandable, but the fact that this is being done at the level of the ukrainian leadership, here i doubt it , of course, but there is a flow, of course, there is a whole flow, yeah , allow me one more question, tas news agency, ekaterina korostovtseva, vladimir vladimirovich, soon you will have a visit to china, please tell me what topics you are interested in we would like to discuss during the negotiations with sidzenping, in continuation of the question about foreign visits, you have other invitations to friendly countries, for example, to the dprk, brazil, algeria, are you planning to post any of them in

the foreseeable future? a trip to the people's republic of china has been discussed for a long time, has already been announced, the main topic is cooperation within the framework of the initiative of the chairman of the people's republic of china, weiping, regarding, yes, him, regarding his idea, discussing his... the idea is one train, one way, big, big event, over the past 10 years, this process has been developing, it is going very actively successfully, and russia, of course, is interested in us, developing our initiative of a large eurasian partnership, the european union, linking all this together with our chinese friends, in one whole to achieve common development goals, we are succeeding, we

have no contradictions here, on the contrary, there is even a certain synergy, this will be the main thing that we will discuss, various aspects of joint work, in these areas, one train, one track and the eurasian, eurasian economic union and the creation of a large eurasian partnership, but also a large complex of two... relations, they are growing, this year we will almost certainly already, well, i hope, reach 200 million billions of turnover 200 billion dollars , one of our main areas is financial relations, further stimulation of payments in national currencies, the volume is growing rapidly, and there are good prospects in high-tech areas. on in the sphere energy, we will look at new routes, in general there are a lot of questions

, god grant that there is enough time to discuss everything, and about foreign visits in friendly terms, and about foreign visits, well, you know, here, i don’t rule it out, well, specifically there for now i try not to plan anything, we have a lot of current issues at home that require special attention, yes please, hello, alexander yunoshev, live. and finland has begun an investigation into the explosions on the baltic connector gas pipeline, considering this an act of deliberate destruction, it sees this is a trace of russia, considering that this is almost revenge for the explosions of the northern flows, and this is bullshit, which means, to be honest, i didn’t even know about the existence of this corpse pipeline, because it is very small in volume, i don’t know how much is pumped there , but if the northern stream, the northern streams there are 55 billion km each, each of them, and then... here i don’t know how much 5-10 billion, but this is the maximum, just look, moreover, i will repeat again, i didn’t even know that it existed,

this pipeline, but then, as far as i’m concerned, gazprom said, but he not even as protected as our streams, therefore, that’s why there could be anything , there’s some kind of technological stuff there, with some kind of stuff there, they could get hit with a hook there, i don’t know with these, there could be an earthquake, which happens rarely, but still less often, there is some kind of problem there, the anchors could have been touched, i don’t know, let them investigate, they don’t let us anywhere with any kind of investigation, so, but these statements are being made, which means the president is a literate, intelligent person, but he cannot help but understand that such statements are aimed at only one thing: to cover up

a terrorist attack that was carried out by the west against the northern streams, divert attention to this, yes please, continuing the topic of the palestinian-israeli conflict, many russians live in these countries, it is known that the palestinians died, the israeli conflict, many russians live in these countries, in israel and in palestine it is already known about the dead and injured citizens, russia plans to organize the removal. we are ready at any moment when there are conditions for this, well, there are bombings every day, if someone wants to leave israel, leave, please, we will do this at any second, but thank you for your question, i am still broadcasting this question to the foreign ministry, if there is at least one person who wants to urgently leave these territories, we are ready to help, and what do they need to do for this, contact contact the embassy. uh-huh, thank you, uh-huh, please, can i ask one more economic question? after your decree on the sale of foreign exchange earnings , the dollar exchange rate of course fell by a few rubles, 97

or even kopecks, but it still has a practical effect. yes for 30 rubles everything equal to more than last year, the question is, is it realistic for us to return to last year’s indicators, what needs to be done for this, or are we still getting used to the proportion of approximately one to 100, no, for the budget we need the rate a little lower, if everything was normal, there wouldn’t be a decree, that means that, but i’ll tell you, we’re not here, we don’t see, that’s what’s important , perhaps, the dollar exchange rate against the ruble is not connected with any problems in the economy, nothing there is no such thing, our economy is stable, macroeconomic indicators good, the forecast for the next six months is generally easy, the question is simply about currency regulation, we have completely abandoned it, but in modern

conditions, apparently, our economists prefer to leave a significant part of their foreign currency earnings abroad, that’s the whole point, and taking into account the fact that imports have increased, commodity flows have been restored, logistics have improved, as our people say, the need for invention is cunning, no matter what they come up with, we still have smarter people, they come up with them in one way, and they came up with, import volume has increased, but the desire to leave the proceeds abroad? has increased, well, that’s all, this, of course, all this is connected with the economy, but not, not with, not with the fundamental parameters of the russian economy today, they are stable, normal, but the regulation will definitely have to be completely corrected somehow, well, the decree is an attempt in exactly this direction

, how effective it will be, we will see, in accordance with the analysis of what will happen on the foreign exchange market, we will make a decision, thank you, please, well now, please, please, let's quickly, olga matveeva, radio station mayak vesti fm, prime minister of armenia nikol pashinyanyan did not come to the cis summit, please tell me if you are planning a meeting with him in the near future, and when did he congratulate you on the phone happy birthday, did he invite you to visit yerevan, thank you, yes, yes, we are on vkontakte, and there is an invitation, and there is his invitation. russia , let's see, well, we understand everything, listen, we are all adults, we understand what is happening there, this is the tragedy of the armenians-karabakh, well which is probably not time for travel now, and but we remain in contact, we work with him, we are constantly in touch, so a normal

situation will develop, i and i will go to see them, they will come, and he will come, we have... we have an appropriate work schedule is built, all our services are working in contact and the foreign ministry and the economic bloc of the government are working, it’s just that the work doesn’t stop, the work goes on, that’s all, but you could celebrate your birthday, if it’s not a secret and how? well, my colleagues came, kasymzham namilevich came and shahad miramonovich, we worked, this is not made up event, we have been working towards this for a long time. indeed, because this year, in the winter, well, in the winter of last year, it happened, and the countries of central asia, including uzbekistan , faced a very difficult situation, there it was -21-24, that’s what president mirziyoyev said, but for them it’s just a disaster , and

the energy system was not ready for such temperature regimes. already then he asked if it was possible to supply at least a small amount of additional gas to uzbekistan, it seemed possible, they began to check, it turned out that it was impossible, because the pipeline system of the central asia center was designed to supply gas from uzbekistan to the soviet republics there; gas from central asia was supplied to 80 regions there. for eight eight regions there are 80 billion cubic meters, but now they themselves need it, it turned out that the economy is growing, thank god, and temperatures are falling, but it turned out that what needs to be put in order are gas pipelines, and they really worked, well, if not during the day and at night, it was very tense, three, 3 months in a row on our site, there was a lot to do on our site,
