Moscow is against military solution of situation in Nagorno Karabakh: Lavrov

Moscow is against military solution to the situation in Nagorno Karabakh and calls on all external players refrain from military scenario, Russia’s FM Sergey Lavrov stated.

“We do not hide that we do not support the position on the possibility and acceptability of military solution to the problem. Viewing the two people – both Armenians and Azerbaijanis – as friendly and fraternal – we cannot share such ambitions,” Lavrov said in an interview.

He reminded that presidents of Russia, the USA and France, as OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries, have “clearly spoken for exclusively peaceful settlement.”

“We call on all external “players” to do everything not to allow further unfolding of the military scenario, cool down the emotions of the parties, intensify work on creation of conditions for restart of the peace process,” Lavrov said.
