Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said the lack of trust
between Azerbaijan and Armenia is one of the reasons for the
protraction of the Karabakh conflict resolution.
"One of the main reasons is as yet an insufficient level of mutual
trust and the suspicion that the other party will renege on final
agreements," Lavrov told the alumni of the Baku branch of Moscow
State University on Wednesday.
On the other hand, unlike other conflicts, there are no international
differences over Karabakh, he said.
"No other conflict in the world has been addressed with such unity of
the global community. It is a unique situation which should be availed
of. But the main decision must be made by the conflicting parties,"
Lavrov said.
The status of Nagorno Karabakh is a stumbling block in the negotiating
process. To settle the conflict, mediators have been trying to
join two principles of international law: territorial integrity
(Baku's argument) and the right of nations to self-determination
(Yerevan's approach).
