Putin: Russia continues to render all possible assistance to search for mutually acceptable solutions to the Karabakh conflict
ArmInfo. The Presidents of Armenia and Russia, Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin respectively, discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict during their meeting in Moscow.
"Russia continues to render all possible assistance to the search for
mutually acceptable solutions to the conflict, both within the
framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, and through direct contacts with
Yerevan and Bacu", Putin said at a press conference after talks with
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
In his turn, Sargsyan noted that during the meeting with the Russian
side, special attention was paid to the Karabakh settlement, creation
of the necessary conditions for the promotion of the negotiation
process. "We highly appreciate the contribution of Russia, as well as
other countries of the OSCE MG Co-Chairs, to an exclusively peaceful
settlement of the problem. During the talks, the importance of
adherence to the trilateral cease-fire agreements of 1994-95 was
again stressed. The need to implement the Vienna and St. Petersburg
agreements was noted. We are united in the opinion that the threat of
force or its use is absolutely unacceptable and damages the peace
process", Sargsyan resumed.
