/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia holds the key to Karabakh conflict, according
to Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said.

"Over the past years, we heard European diplomats make optimistic
statements on being ‘on the verge of breakthrough’. But the problem
is complicated. Direct talks between countries and adherence to
international law norms (including right of return for refugees and
respect for state sovereignty) seem to be the only way out," he told
Ekho Moskvy radio station.

At that, Georgia’s leader didn’t rule out escalation of the situation.

"To change something for the better, countries should enter into a
dialogue. In that sense, I think the ongoing talks between Turkey
and Armenia should be coordinated with Azerbaijan," Saakashvili said.
