Moscow welcomes the normalization of relations between Baku and Tehran, the Russian Foreign Ministry SpokespersonMaria Zakharova said at a briefing.

According to her, improving relations between the countries will have a positive effect on the situation in the South Caucasus and Caspian Sea region.
