Lavrov: Further reduction of tension to contribute to peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict
Russia hails the maintenance of relative stability on the border and line of contact in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview to Armenian Mediamax.
“We believe that the further reduction of tension could have contributed to the creation of favorable atmosphere in peace talks. As to the final legal status of Nagorno Karabakh, it is one of the most difficult issues,” he said.
According to him, the heads of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries many times stated that the status must be determined during the peace talks, in a political way, on the basis of legally binding expression of will.
“The parameters of this work, including the organization aspects are yet to be agreed by the sides,” Lavrov said.
