Andrey Nesterenko Moscow thinks that the Karabakh conflict has come up
in talks between Ankara and Yerevan on normalizing bilateral relations,
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrey Nesterenko said on Tuesday.
He was asked at a regular Foreign Ministry press briefing to comment on
Armenian-Turkish rapprochement and to what extent it was linked to the
settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey has its
autonomous significance in the sense that this is the normalization
of relations between two countries that have experienced difficult
times in their relations," Nesterenko said.
"As far as we know, questions about Nagorno-Karabakh have also been
raised during the talks process on the Yerevan-Ankara axis. It looks
as though the process is also taking into account this package of
issues. We shall hope that this will all be resolved in accordance
with existing decisions and through international organizations and
will meet the hopes of all the countries of the region."
