"We should consider a possibility of legal review of all Russian-Turkish agreements that are unfavorable for our country and its allies. Ankara must understand what the escalation of the conflict could be fraught with for it. Only this can bring it to earth and prevent it from carrying out new provocations," Obukhov told Izvestia.

The initiative has been supported by the Just Russia faction.

Obukhov noted that "two of the three Transcaucasian republics - Georgia and Armenia - did not recognize the terms of the treaty considering it unfair. “Armenia doesn’t recognize the Treaty of Kars that envisages execution of the Treaty of Moscow and the Supreme Council of Georgia denounced it in 2005.”

The Treaty of Moscow signed on March 16, 1921 is very important for Azerbaijan. According to the terms of the treaty, Nakhchivan has the status of autonomy under the administrative jurisdiction of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Also in the contract there is a clause according to which Azerbaijan will never cede protectorate over Nakhchivan to a third state. The Treaty of Kars was signed on October 13, 1921 for the execution of the provisions of the Treaty of Moscow.
