Former foreign minister of NKR Arman Melikyan said that the upcoming meeting of the Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian Foreign Ministers will be of restraining nature.

Commenting on the trilateral meeting to be held in January, Melikyan told a press conference in Yerevan that during it, most likely, the Russian side will try to convince the parties to refrain from bellicose statements and some sharp actions during the OSCE summit in February.

With this, Russia will try to show that it plays a key role in the Karabakh conflict settlement, said Melikyan.
