`Discussing the issue of accelerating the peaceful settlement of the
Karabakh conflict at international conferences would be effective,’
declared Igor Levitin, the Foreign Minister of Russia in response to
PACE Deputy from Azerbaijan, who noted that `Russia can use its
presidency over the Council of Ministers of the Council of Europe and
accelerate the settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

To remind, preceding the summer session, sitting of the PACE Bureau
and Permanent Committee was held May 29 in Moscow.

Lavrov noted that there are the decisions of the Council of Europe, UN
and OSCE on this issue; in the recent years, however, the common
opinion has been accumulated in the framework of the Minsk Group,
since the Minsk Group Co-Chairs have undertaken thorough investigation
of details. ` I can say that this process does not stop. I hope the
practice of meetings will continue,’ RF Foreign Minster said.
