Sergei Lavrov on the Status of Nagorno-Karabakh

“I understand that many are saying now that the status of Nagorno-Karabakh remains unresolved. This issue should be finally agreed upon with the participation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, who, at this stage, probably should not raise the status issue, but rather contribute to confidence-building measures and humanitarian problem-solving so that Armenians and Azerbaijanis can again live together in conditions of security and economic prosperity. And then, I assure you, in a year or two, if we establish such a life, all status issues will be resolved much more easily,” stated Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, today.
