Baku. Parvin Abbasov - APA. "Russia makes necessary efforts to find
the settlement of the Nagrono Karabakh conflict.
Several trilateral meetings of the Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian
presidents was held on the initiative of Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev and the settlement of the conflict was discussed," said
Chairwoman of the Russian Council of Federation Valentina Matvienko
at a briefing following the meeting with the Speaker of Azerbaijani
Parliament Ogtay Asadov, APA reports.
She said that "it is impossible to find the settlement of the conflict
in a short time because Nagorno Karabakh conflict is very complicated.
But the work on this issue is based on the UN resolutions and the
norms of international law. The last meeting of the presidents in
Sochi was very effective. They signed a trilateral statement, which
will accelerate the settlement format."
Valentina Matvienko also spoke about the parliament's role in this
work: "This is a parliamentary diplomacy. I think that we must give
attention to the trilateral meetings of our intellectuals and cultural
workers. It is impossible to settle this conflict without confidence.
We must support the scientists and culture figures in their
confidence-building efforts."
Chairwoman of the Russian Council of Federation said that the potential
of the OSCE Minsk Group didn't end: "Russia took and will take an
active position as a mediator to find the settlement which will satisfy
all sides. Both sides must show good will and find peaceful settlement
versions. We are guided by the international law, UN resolutions and
the principles of territorial integrity of the countries and non-use
of force. I think that we will find the settlement if we are guided
by these principles, because this is a problem of not only the two
countries, but entire region."
