Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is on a two-day visit
to Armenia, made some comments on the Karabakh conflict at today’s
meting with journalists.
Russia comes from the incontestable fact that views of people of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic cannot be ignored, according to minister.
Journalists responded to this by saying that at the very beginning of
the negotiations Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was negotiator; however,
after Russia began mediate talks and involved Armenia in negotiations,
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic lost its negotiating part.
"We had neither goal in mediating but to reach an agreement which
would go with interests of Armenian and Azerbaijani people," Lavrov
answered. He added, the current stage of negotiations focused on
fundamental principles for de jure agreement.
