Russia’s unchanging principled position on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is based on finding solutions to main issues which are
mutually agreeable for Armenia and Azerbaijan. The conflicting sides
will not be bound to any recipies, however, said Russia’s Deputy
Foreign Minister Georgy Karasin, reports Armenian Russian-language
paper Respublika Armenia ("Republic of Armenia").
Besides, in Karasin’s words, Moscow bases the idea that "the main
responsibility of the final verdict must lie with the Armenians and
Azerbaijanis."
"The solution to the conflict that allows for stability and tranquility
in the Transcaucasus to be re-established will be considered viable,
and the post-conflict period will help maintain geopolitcal balance
here and as a result, the region will not be transfomed into an
international stage of political and military rivalry," concluded
Karasin.
