Moscow considers it important to calm down the situation at the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters on Monday.

This problem cannot be solved in one document, said the minister, adding that this issue needs a step-by-step approach that will determine ways to work on the matters that require additional discussion to achieve a final settlement, including the status of Nagorno-Karabakh, TASS reported.

According to the minister, Russia cannot have precise plans to resolve this conflict, because only the parties themselves can solve the conflict. According to the minister, Russia, together with other participants in the process, creates conditions for such a settlement, comparing the positions of the parties to seek coinciding approaches.

 “We are waiting for a positive impetus to come from both countries,” he added.
