Nagorno-Karabakh status quo unacceptable for all sides - Russian
foreign minister
MOSCOW. May 21
The status quo as a possible solution to the conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh is unacceptable both for Russia and the two sides in
the conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"The status quo is unacceptable for Russia because they are our
neighbors, our friends, and stability and peace in the Caucasus are
among the priorities of Russia's foreign policy," Lavrov said at a
press conference after talks with Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov.
"The status quo means both the absence of a solution to the issue of
the Azeri territories' return and an economic blockade of Armenia," he
said.
"That is why there is no need to persuade anyone of the
unacceptability of this status quo, and the co-chairmen [of the OSCE
Minsk Group] are committed to the task of unblocking this situation,"
Lavrov said.
