Speaking not as an OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair but simply as a citizen of Russia, then our position on Kosovo is well known. It is universal and can be applied to all conflicts, including the Nagorno Karabakh one, OSCE Minsk Group Russian Co-chair, Ambassador Yuri Merzlyakov said.

"Our principle is that all sides involved in the conflict must reach an agreement and take a mutually acceptable decision," he said.

"As to the idea that Kosovo scenario was directed to another course, we are not guilty of that. We would like to return the Kosovo process to legal platform. We do not view the Kosovo model as a resolution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. For the time being, the sides, thanks God, only negotiate and meet. At least, this process is ongoing within the legal course. Unfortunately, over the past period we are not observing this in Kosovo, after its unilateral declaration of independence, and especially after following the statements against this independence by some members of the international community," Amb. Merzlyakov said, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
