Russia’s FM says now not the best time to discuss Nagorno Karabakh status

The discussion of the status of Nagorno Karabakh will become possible in future, Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said at a news conference today, according to TASS news agency. 

“I am hopeful that the emotions will now be pushed back. By the way this is the reason why now is not the best time to push the subject of Nagorno Karabakh status as a priority, it remains for future,” he said.

He noted that the Russian peacekeepers will ensure the interests of both Azerbaijani and Armenian sides. “And we must return to the status. The main thing is that from the point of view of the status in future concrete and calm legal discussions will take place between Armenia and Azerbaijan based on good-neighborly relations which we all must restore in the region,” Lavrov said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
