conflict have taken shape, the chairman of the Federation Council of
Russia, Valentina Matviyenko, told Trend on Tuesday.
"We believe that it can be solved only through political and democratic
means. There is no other solution ... We believe that it is necessary
to continue negotiations and dialogue, but the main thing in this
negotiation process, in this dialogue is to restore confidence,"
