"Russia wants the soonest peaceful and fair settlement of the Karabakh

Russia will support any settlement formula, which will be acceptable
for Azerbaijan and Armenia, Dorokhin said. "Together with its partners
[the United States and France], Russia mediates the settlement

"Russia views Azerbaijan as a strategic partner. This relationship is
based on amity, cooperation and mutual understanding," Dorokhin said.
Russia "unconditionally recognizes the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan and respects the independent Azeri foreign
policy that promotes regional stability and security," he said.
