"Russia is ready to be a guarantor of the settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict in case a compromise is reached between Azerbaijan
and Armenia", said a source in the Kremlin.

"Russia would be ready to support the variant of the problem
settlement, which would meet the interests of all the involved
parties and become a guarantor of the settlement in case a compromise
is attained", said he.

"The principal position of Russia in Nagorno Karabakh issue is not to
impose any receipts from outside to the conflict parties, based on the
opinion that the main responsibility for the final result of the
settlement lies on Azerbaijanis and Armenians", said the source.

The source added that according to the Russian side "a solution to the
problem, which will help regain stability and tranquility in the South
Caucasus and preserve historically formed balance of powers in the
post-conflict period, will be considered effective".

"The upcoming talks are expected to play an important role in
strengthening regional stability and security, especially in the light
of the recent crisis in the Caucasus and confirm the adherence of the
conflict parties to the settlement by peaceful political means", said
the source.

The source considers that the preservation of the direct regular
Armenian-Azerbaijani dialogue on the high level acquires key
importance in this connection.
