Plans to rename Nagorno Karabakh not to affect Russia’s stance on conflict settlement

The intention to rename the name of Nagorno-Karabakh will not affect Russia’s position on the settlement to the conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told APA.

Zakharova also touched upon the OSCE Ministerial Council in Hamburg on December 8-9, whether the Karabakh issue is expected to be discussed.

“The Nagorno-Karabakh settlement will be discussed at the Vienna meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council on November 10, and also at a meeting of the OSCE Minsk Group. We believe that this work will continue at the Hamburg meeting of OSCE foreign ministers,” the Spokeswoman said.
