"Russia wishes maximum progress to be made in the negotiations on the
settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev said, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.
"I think Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents should have regular
meetings. Russia is ready to carry out its mandate. We are doing our
best to support this process. I am sure if such contacts continue,
taking into account the proposals this conflict can be solved in line
with the interests of both nations. New ideas may emerge. Russia
is ready to do its best for the settlement of this difficult, but
solvable conflict. I think the parties should listen to each other’s
arguments. There are prospects and first of all it should be based
on the international legal norms and the resolutions of the UN and
OSCE on the conflict. So, there is a progress. The main thing is that
tertiary, but sometimes very complicated factors should not influence
these processes, the parties should demonstrate patience and see the
prospects," he said.
