"Ways of resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be discussed
during the meeting of Presidents of Azerbaijan and Russia Ilham Aliyev
and Dmitri Medvedev in Baku", said Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan
Vasili Istratov at a press conference today.

He said the OSCE Minsk Group has recently made active efforts for
restoration of contacts between the sides.

"Russia is not the only mediator. There are three co-chairing countries
in the Minsk Group and they act in cooperation. Considering historical,
economic and cultural ties with the South Caucasus countries, Russia
will play a constructive role for the resolution of the conflict",
said he.

“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
