"Russia's position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is known. As a
co-chairing country, we continue our efforts towards the resolution of
the conflict. The co-chairs made proposals to Azerbaijan and Armenia
at certain stages. The main issue was to reach an agreement between
the sides. Unfortunately, the proposals did not satisfy either one
or the other side. The main issue was reaching an agreement by the
parties themselves," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at
the press conference after meeting his Armenian counterpart Edward
Nalbandian, APA's Moscow correspondent reports.
To the question "The negotiations on the settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict have reached a deadlock. Why has the activity of
Russia in the negotiations weakened?", Lavrov said: "Russia has not
reduced its activity and is continuing efforts within Minsk Group. The
co-chairs meet regularly with the foreign ministers and presidents
of both countries."
The Russian FM has agreed with the question on the lack of progress in
the negotiations: "Indeed, there is no progress in the negotiations."
Edwar Nalbandian also said there is no progress in the negotiations.
"Though there is no progress in the negotiations, we can not say the
negotiations have reached a deadlock. Foreign ministers hold regular
meetings. The process is underway," he said.
To APA correspondent's correspondent question "The co-chairs and
Azerbaijan state that the status quo is inadmissible. What is the
position of Armenia?" Nalbandian said:
"Armenia's position coincides with the position of the Minsk Group. If
Azerbaijan does not want the status quo to be maintained, it should
not reject the proposals of the co-chairs. These proposals include
withdrawal of snipers and etc."
