    Sergey Lavrov: `There is no progress in the negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh"

    [ 25 April 2013 13:52 ]


    Edward Nalbandian: "Though there is no progress in the negotiations,
    we can not say the negotiations have reached a deadlock"

    Moscow. Farid Akberov - APA. `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.'
