Kremlin wanted skilled workers to return Russia and ‘painstaking work continues on Armenia-Azerbaijan dispute

Islamabad: (Web Desk) The Kremlin said it wanted skilled workers now based abroad to return to Russia and continue working to benefit the country, after hundreds of thousands of people fled abroad in the past year due to the conflict in Ukraine.

According to the source, One of Russia’s richest tycoons called on the authorities to tolerate rather than punish workers, particularly those in the IT sector now overseas, arguing that the country needs their brain power.

Meanwhile the Kremlin said that it is continuing “painstaking” work on resolving a dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Lachin corridor, a mountainous road linking Armenia to the Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Furthermore “The Russian Federation continues its painstaking work in this direction,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Azerbaijan’s President, Ilham Aliyev, denies that the corridor is subject to a blockade and says activists protesting illegal mining activity are the main reason for the disruption to traffic.
