The solution to the Karabakh conflict can be found only by its participants, not international mediators, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters today, TASS reports.

He noted, however, that Russia is working consistently in international formats to contribute to the resolution.

“Being a responsible member of those formats, Russia continues the consistent work towards the settlement of the Karabakh conflict,” he said, reminding that “those are not on-time efforts, it’s a consistent line.”

Peskov added that “some final solutions and initiatives should come from the participants of the conflict.”

“Neither the international mediators, nor Russia can solve the conflict instead of Armenia and Azerbaijan,” he said.

The settlement of Karabakh conflict was on the agenda of the Armenian-Russian summit in Moscow on the eve.
