Compromise based on sides' lawful interests to solve Karabakh problem - Lavrov
MOSCOW. May 21
The cochairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group for the Karabakh conflict
settlement will visit the region shortly, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov said.
"The next regional trip of the cochairman will take place already
tomorrow. The work goes on," he told a press conference after
negotiations with Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
"No one is going to give up; we will be doing the utmost to help
create conditions for resolution of this problem although, obviously,
it can be resolved only by the concerned parties and we will help them
do that. There must be no hasty opinions that nothing will work out
because of stagnation. I am confident everything is possible if we
search for a compromise based on the account of lawful interests of
the sides," the minister stressed.
He said he had agreed with Mammadyarov that every meeting of the
Armenian and Azeri presidents held with the participation of the OSCE
Minsk Group representatives (Russia, the United States and France) was
rather useful for "clearing up details, in which the devil is."
"The basic principles affirmed by statements of the presidents of
Russia, the United States and France in 2009 and 2011 are not disputed
by anyone; the task is to put them into practice," the Russian
minister said.
