Baku – APA. "Russia supporting the solution to Nagorno Karabakh
conflict together with the other OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs wants
nothing but the agreement that will meet the interests of Armenian and
Azerbaijani people," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at
the press conference in Yerevan, APA reports quoting Novosti-Armenia.
To the question "Can Russia’s energy cooperation with Turkey be more
important than the right of self-determination of Nagorno Karabakh’s
people?" Lavrov said: "Simply it cannot be. When we say that the
co-chairs are trying to help the presidents of the two countries
to agree on the principles, on which the further settlement will be
based, it means that these principles will lay the foundation of the
ceasefire agreement covering the legal commitments. We consider that
the position of the Karabakh people must be taken into consideration
in the preparation of the agreement. It should be agreed and specified
in what forms it will be done," he said.
