The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan said they were ready to
continue the dialogue on the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh following a
meeting in the Russian southern resort city of Sochi, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said Sunday.
"The meeting was important, the presidents have confirmed their
commitment to the principles outlined by the co-chairs [of the OSCE
Minsk Group] ... at the presidential level and these principles imply
a necessity to seek a peaceful solution while respecting the
territorial integrity and the right of the peoples to
self-determination," Lavrov stressed.
"The presidents expressed preparedness to continue dialogue at the
presidential level and the Russian Federation as one of the co-chairs
will assist [with this process]," the minister added.
Earlier on Sunday, a trilateral meeting between the presidents of
Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan focused on the situation in
Nagorno-Karabakh took place in the Southern Russian resort city of
Sochi.
Lavrov said that during negotiations the presidents discussed the need
to implement the decisions by the Organization for Security and
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the contact group.
"The presidents ordered the countries' prime ministers to continue
this work along with efforts to elaborate practical aspects of the
conflict settlement, which have not been agreed on yet," Lavrov said.
