Sergei Lavrov: mediators see possibility to resolve Karabakh conflict

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia is in blockade over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and it's in the national interest to improve the situation, Russia's Foreign Minister said.



"Geographical and political outlets are not many but as soon as the Karabakh settlement becomes a reality, Turkey will help Armenia connect with the world though establishing diplomatic relations with it," Sergei Lavrov said.



Direct meetings between the Presidents with the mediators' assistance provided a chance to advance before the Caucasus crisis, according to him. "A substantial document which includes all settlement principles and mechanisms was developed," he said.



"There are two or three uncoordinated issues left, specifically the fate of Lachin Corridor. Presidential meetings are likely to resume after the Azerbaijani election. As a mediator, Russia sees a possibility to resolve the conflict," Lavrov said in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
