There is no need to replace mediators on settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta. In his words, the current format, which involves states that are well familiar with the region, is the most optimal one. «Russia US and France enjoy sufficient confidence of the parties. At that their mediation mission attributes more responsibility to the parties to conflict in searching for solution,» Oskanian said.

At that Vartan Oskanian underscored that the way of compromise is very hard and it demands political will and resoluteness from the parties, as well as political pragmatism. «As of Armenia, which continues efforts to settle the issue as soon as possible, we recently displayed sufficient flexibility and we expect a similar approach from the other party,» the Armenian FM said.
