- Russia will not reduce its activity on the Nagorno-Karabakh
settlement and will work to resume the negotiating process, Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday after the talks with
his Armenian counterpart Edvard Nalbandyan.
"We exchanged views on issues of security, stability and cooperation in
the Trans-Caucasian region, including the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement,"
the minister said.
Russia's approaches are well known. They are not something independent,
he noted. "We work only within the framework of activities of the
co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group together with our American and
French partners. At various stages, members of the Group of Three
presented proposals that were supported by the rest, he said. The
essence of the proposals irrespective of formulations was one --
to achieve the creation of conditions for the parties to agree,
since only the parties can agree, the minister noted.
The line is reflected in the fundamental principles, which were
repeatedly confirmed in statements of the Russian, U.S. and French
presidents in the past three-four years.
"We adhere to the line, and in the group of cochairmen we continue to
work for the negotiating process to be resumed," he added. The meetings
are held regularly. Additional events are planned that will allow
understanding what progress is made for the talks to resume. "We do
not reduce our activity and will continue to work," the minister said.
