MOSCOW GOING TO CONTINUE PROMOTING SEARCH FOR UNBINDING KARABAKH KNOT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Moscow intends to actively promote search for unbinding the Karabakh knot, stated Alexander Yakovenko, a Russian Foreign Ministry official representative, reported RIA Novosti. In his words, Moscow "is going to continue actively promoting search for unbinding the Karabakh knot." "We positively assess the outcomes of the latest meeting of the Armenian and Azeri Presidents in Warsaw in May. It conveyed an impetus to the search for soonest political settlement of the Karabakh conflict," the diplomat emphasized. "The position of Russia over Karabakh remains unchanged in principle. We come against imposing any recipes from the outside over the participants of the conflict and we proceed from the point that the basic responsibility for the final choice should be carried by Azeris and Armenians themselves," the Russian Foreign Ministry official representative said. He noted that Russia "would be ready to support the option of solution of the problem that fits all parties to conflict and in case a compromise agreement is made - to come as the guarantor of the settlement." "In our opinion the solution of the problem allowing to restore stability and peace in the Transcaucasia will be viable. In the post-conflict period it will assist in sustaining the historically formed geo-political balance of power there and will not lead to making the region an arena of international political and military contest," Mr. Yakovenko underscored.
