Secretary General Terry Davis and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov took place in Strasbourg yesterday. The top officials referred
to the settlement of conflicts available in the CIS space. Sergey
Lavrov stated he sees no sense in UN's engagement in the resolution
of CIS conflicts, since the conflicting sides have already agreed
on the settlement principles. In his words, the agreements and
settlement formats remain in case of any conflict emerging on the CIS
territory and this is the only way to resolve the so-called "frozen
conflicts". When commenting on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict Sergey
Lavrov said, "Russia is interested in the soonest settlement of the
Karabakh conflict. The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs spare no effort
for it." According to the Russian FM, the mediators have the exact
wording for each unsettled issue however "the final decision is up
to the conflicting sides," reports RFE/RL.
