PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani parliaments
can contribute to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, head of
the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matvienko,
who is on an official visit to Azerbaijan, said.
"We should focus on establishing contacts, organization meetings
between intellectuals and cultural figures of the three countries,"
Matvienko told the media in Baku on April 9. "Our goal is to create
an atmosphere of trust. It will be difficult to find a practical
solution to this problem without strengthening confidence."
As a co-chair country of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia makes all the
necessary efforts to find a solution to this problem, trend.az quotes
Matvienko as saying.
Russian official recalled that several tripartite meetings have been
held between the Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders on the
initiative of President Medvedev. The formats of a mutually acceptable
solution have been discussed.
"This problem has no quick solution," she said. "It is not easy, it
is difficult, but we are acting strictly within the UN resolutions
on this issue. We follow international law."
She added that the potential of the OSCE Minsk Group has not been
exhausted. "It gives the opportunity to continue this work. Russia
has played and will continue playing an active role as a mediator in
finding mutually acceptable solutions. The good will from both sides
and the search for a peaceful solution are required."
