Russian, U.S., French top foreign policy officials urge faster
Karabakh settlement
MOSCOW. March 23
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said talks alone
can guarantee stability in the Karabakh conflict zone.
Presidents Dmitry Medvedev, Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy
reaffirmed in their joint statement in Deauville on May 24 2011, that
talks alone can bring the settlement process to peace, stability and
reconciliation, while all attempts to use force while settling the
conflict will only bring more suffering to the region, where
uncertainty and the absence of security have existed far too long, the
Russian, American and French top foreign policy officials said in a
joint statement, posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary since the official proposal
was made to convene a conference on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the
foreign ministers of the countries chairing the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe's Minsk Group urge the parties to
demonstrate political will needed to achieve a long-lasting peaceful
settlement," the foreign ministers said.
"We emphatically urge the parties' leaders to complete the work on the
framework agreement as soon as possible and negotiate a final
settlement pattern, based on the principles, laid down in the Helsinki
Final Act, which envisions the non-use of force and the threat of
using force, as well territorial integrity, self-determination and
equality of states, on the UN Charter and on international law, which
will allow the whole of the region to overcome status-quo and start
moving towards a safer future and prosperity," the statement says.
