Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov advised official Baku not
to mill the history.
Coming forwards in the Baku State University, S. Lavrov touched on
the Karabakh conflict and drew a parallel between the events of the
midst of XX Century. "In any conflict, any crisis, one can follow
the way of permanent milling of the history and make it a tool of
the modern policy.
Unfortunately, this sometimes happens with the results of the World
War II, while there is another way acting, that is, aiming at the
present or the future and achieving for every conflict to get a
generally-accepted settlement".
Asked about the parallel between Nagorno Karabakh and Kosovo, the
"Vremya Novostey" reports, S. Lavrov said granting of independence to
the Serbian Territory in one-sided sequence will create a dangerous
precedent for the Caucasian region. In his opinion, the situation
in Karabakh conflict differs from the Kosovo sample. "There are no
any attempts of imposing one’s decision, which are available in the
Kosovo settlement, and no attempts by any party to avoid negotiations",
RF FM said.
