/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia will recognize any agreement of the parties
over the Karabakh issue and Russia's stand lies in the parties coming
to an agreement themselves, Konstantin Zatulin stated in an interview
with Echo Baku newspaper. In his words, if is it a voluntary agreement
on providing independence to Karabakh, Russia will recognize it. "If
Karabakh decides sometimes to agree to be an autonomy as part of
Azerbaijan, though I personally do not believe it, we will also
recognize this decision," he noted and emphasized that any decision
of the parties is that of theirs. "Today Russia is unambiguously
against resumption of hostilities in Karabakh settlement. Undoubtedly,
in today's situation it is a guarantee for Armenia and, if you wish,
for Azerbaijan: we welcome the negotiation process and not at all
the resumption of hostilities by any of the parties," he noted. In
his words, the plans of the Armenian party do not include resumption
of hostilities and if the Azeri party does not have them either,
there is nothing to speak about.
