Yerevan /Mediamax. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated today that the November 9 ceasefire statement creates all opportunities for a long-term settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, based on fair principles and in the interests of Armenian and Azerbaijani peoples.

During a joint briefing with Armenian Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan in Moscow, Lavrov has said that the statement provides an opportunity to unblock all transport corridors and economic ties in the region.

 “We have suggested involving Armenian and Azerbaijani specialists in the humanitarian center to be established in Nagorno-Karabakh at the initiative of the Russian President, so the center will be international. We wish that the economic and infrastructure recovery contributes to the creation of conditions for the establishment of good-neighborly relations between Armenians and Azeris, both in Nagorno-Karabakh and at the interstate level,” Lavrov said.

 According to him, it would also contribute to creating trust and cooperation in the region for the benefit of all peoples and countries there.

 “We are convinced that people of different nationalities and religions should live in peace and security. We will regularly promote this approach,” Lavrov said.

 Lavrov has added he and Ara Ayvazyan have underlined the role of the OSCE Minsk Group, co-chaired by Russia, France and the United States, in creation of the mentioned conditions.
