STEPANAKERT, June 5. /ARKA/. The statement made by RF Minister of
Defense Sergey Ivanov on the possibility of stationing peace-making
forces in Nagorno Karabakh is evidence of seriousness of the current
round of negotiations for the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, Chairman
of the Standing Commission for Foreign Relations, RA Parliament,
Vahram Atanesyan told ARKA.

According to him, Moscow may give a new impulse to the whole process,
as Russia and Turkey started new consultations embracing the problems
of Armenian-Turkish and Armenian-Azerbaijani relations.

“Azerbaijan’s response provides grounds to believe that Ivanov
addressed the subject at the right moment and in a clear context,”
Atanesyan said.
