YEREVAN, June 14. /ARKA/. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan
thinks Russia and the United States are interested in Karabakh
conflict settlement.

He said Wednesday in his interview with Kentron TV Channel that
the U.S.A. is a little hastens in an effort to solve he problem,
and Russia absolutely doesn’t bar it from doing it.

Oskanyan thinks Russian President Putin said the best thing – Russia
will accept any decision acceptable to the sides and will appear as
a guarantor of the conflict settlement.

"Russia, guided by its general global policy, doesn’t want to take
the initiative greater than its activity within OSCE Minsk Group’s
frames together with the United States and France. This is the only
difference between Russia and the United States, but there is no
discord between the countries over the content", the minister said
in his interview.
