Baku. Victoria Dementieva - APA. "Russia always supports the peaceful
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Our standpoint is that
the mediation mission of Russia will be continued together with the
other co-chair countries," Russian co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group
Igor Popov answered the questions of journalist about the policy of
newly-elected president Vladimir Putin on the settlement of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict.
One of the orders signed by the new president concerns the foreign
policy. It reads that "Russia must continue its activity together with
the other co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group. This activity is based
on the assistance to the sides for the settlement of the conflict
considering the high-level agreements achieved in 2009-2011. I think
that it concretely expresses the position of Russia."
Igor Popov also commented the visits of the co-chairs to the region
and said that this was a planned visit. "We discussed the actual issues
of the settlement with Azerbaijani President and Foreign Minister. We
also discussed the actual issues of the realization of the agreements,
which were achieved in Sochi. We especially discussed the progress
of the work on the settlement document at the meetings.
We also touched the incidents which occurred in the contact line of
the troops in the end of April. As for future contacts, we hope that
our contacts will continue in the next future."
Igor Popov noted that he talked with Russian president's special
representative Michael Shvidkoy, who is organizing the meetings
between Azerbaijani and Armenian intellectuals and young people,
and noted that such meetings will be continued recently.
US co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Robert Bradtke answered the
questions of journalists and said that the co-chairs couldn't visit
Nagorno Karbakh due to weather conditions.
