Russia's role in the process of settling the Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh is so efficient, as it demanded,
Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vladimir Dorokhin said.
"Russia stands for peaceful settlement of the conflict. There
was a period when Moscow wanted to send its peacemakers to
Nagorno-Karabakh. The composition of international mediators on the
conflict has been formed and Russia has to reckon with it," Dorokhin
said at a meeting in the Azerbaijani President administration Strategic
Studies Centre on June 5.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed
forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan
and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of
the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently
holding the peace negotiations.
Russia cannot take the settlement of the conflict in its hands and
command," Dorokhin added.
According to him, Russia's position is neither pro-Armenian
nor pro-Azerbaijani. "We want to reach fair settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," the ambassador said.
