The report of RF Foreign Ministry on the results of the discussion
during the UN General Assembly regarding the resolution on the
settlement of Karabakh conflict ran: in conjunction with the USA
and France, Russia is "ready to continue the active mediation of
OSCE Minsk group co-chairs", to bring to an end the agreement on the
fundamental principles of the regulation of Karabakh conflict.

OCSE co-Chair countries – Russia, the USA and France voted against
the bill.

"In the joint announcement regarding the motives of the voting,
they have argued their positions by the fact that the step made by
Azerbaijan was unilateral, untimely and not effective. Azerbaijan
has been informed about this position many times and on different
levels." RF Foreign Ministry reports.
