"Russia feels the difficulty and pain of the Karabakh conflict more
than other intermediaries and for this purpose is engaged in mediation
at the highest level – the presidential level", said the Ambassador
of Russia in Baku Vladimir Dorokhin, according to Interfax-Azerbaijan.

This is a fact that Russia is aware of the Karabakh problem more than
others. And not just because we are neighbors, but also because we
were parts of a big state and we know the genesis of this problem
better than anyone else", said V. Dorokhin in an interview.

The Ambassador noted that Russia has been involved in conflict
resolution from the very beginning, and that Moscow has a primary
credit for the achievement of a cease-fire, the 15th anniversary of
which was marked the other day.

"Probably, we are afeel the pain and danger of the conflict more than
others. Therefore, the President of Russia assumes a high mediation
mission", underlined the Russian diplomat.
