MOSCOW, JULY 14, ARMENPRESS: Russia's foreign ministry denounced
Tuesday Turkey's efforts to seek a greater involvement in the process
of regulationof the Nagorno Karabagh conflict. In a statement,
circulated by Russian mass media, foreign minister Sergey Lavrov
accused Turkey of trying to bypass Moscow in an effort to assume the
leading role in mediating a peace deal between Armenia and
Azerbaijan. Saying that Russia is able to become the guarantor of a
mutually acceptable peace formula, the Russian minister reminded that
Moscow is Armenia's chief military ally.

officers' participation in a NATO planning conference in Azerbaijan's
capital last month.
According to a Russian newspaper Noviye Izvestia, Lavrov's
statement can be perceived in Azerbaijan as "a call for war."
