    RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY: WE SEE OUR ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT BUT WITHOUT IMPOSING ANY FORMULAS FROM OUTSIDE TO ITS PARTICIPANTS

    ArmInfo. We see our role in supporting the Karabakh conflict
    settlement, searching of decisions on the key problems, but without
    imposing any formulas from outside to its participants. We are stemming
    from the fact that Azerbaijanis and Armenians themselves should be
    chiefly responsible for the final choice, Russian Deputy Foreign
    Minister Grigoriy Karasin said in an interview with 'Respublika
    Armenia' newspaper.

    He recalled that Russia is has been taking an active intermediary part
    on the matter of the Karabakh conflict settlement since beginning
    of the relevant negotiating process. 'At present Moscow has been
    implementing these functions on the multilateral basis together with
    the USA and France coming forward as a co-chair of the OSCE MG - the
    main international forum for searching for the political settlement of
    Nagornyy Karabakh conflict. At the same time we make the intermediary
    efforts in the bilateral contacts with our partners in Yerevan and
    Baku. It is not accidental that when meeting President of Armenia Serzh
    Sargsyan on 12 October in Moscow Dmitriy Medvedev called the Russian
    participation in the process of Nagornyy Karabakh settlement as "a
    very important measure of our relations" in general', - Karasin said.

    He also added that Russia will be ready to support that option of the
    conflict settlement which will be acceptable for all the parties to
    the conflict, and in case of reaching compromise - Russia is ready
    to come forward as a guarantor of settlement. 'It is clear that
    only that decision will become viable, which will make it possible
    to return stability and calmness in the South Caucasus, and in the
    post-conflict period will help to preserve the geo-political balance
    of forces and will not lead to turning the region into the arena of
    international political and military rivalry', - he said.

    'Despite the existing disagreements the parties to the conflict
    have managed to reach certain progress in coordination of the basic
    principles of settlement. Moscow is going to continue taking all the
    possible actions to ensure further development of the process', -
    Russian deputy foreign minister concluded.
