UNCONSTRUCTIVE APPROACH OF "ONE OF THE SIDES" HAMPERS KARABAKH SETTLEMENT PROCESS - ARMENIAN MINISTER

The Russian and Armenian foreign ministers, Sergei Lavrov and Edward
Nalbandian, have confirmed the absence of progress in efforts to
settle the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh
"So far, no steps forward have been taken [in the settlement process],"
Lavrov said at a press conference after talks with Nalbandian in
Moscow on Thursday.
"I would also say that there is no progress [in resolving the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict]. But I cannot say that we are facing a
deadlock. The negotiating process continues. Arrangements are being
made for a new meeting of the foreign ministers, who will most likely
meet in Krakow in May. A meeting at the highest level cannot be ruled
out either," Nalbandian said.
The Armenian and Azeri foreign ministers have met on three occasions
in the past few months, and the Russian, U.S. and French co-chairmen
of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Minsk
Group have visited the region as well, he said.
"It means that the process continues. Another thing is that it lacks
progress because one of the sides pursues an unconstructive approach
and has effectively rejected all offers presented by the co-chairmen,"
the Armenian minister said.
