/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In a sign of intensifying geopolitical turf wars in
the South Caucasus, Moscow warned the West on June 25 against foreign
meddling in the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The statement came on the eve of a G8 ministerial summit in Italy,
where the world's largest industrial powers will discuss international
issues, including the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between the two South
Caucasus states, eurasia.net reports.
"Russia is against foisting remedies upon the conflict sides from
outside," the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared. "Russia is
ready to support the option of conflict resolution that is satisfactory
to all the sides involved and, in case a compromise agreement is
reached, act as guarantor of the resolution."
The ministry said that the conflict talks' key mediators -- Russia,
the US and France -- are in general agreement about the main approaches
for a resolution to the 21-year conflict.
