Karabakh formed as independent state

PanARMENIAN.Net - Nagorno Karabakh formed as an independent state long ago, director of the Institute of CIS member states, Russian State Duma deputy, member of United Russia party's general council Konstantin Zatulin told reporters in Yerevan.



Russia, as the OSCE MG Co-chair, stands for dialogue between the sides, he said.



"I think that resolution in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be achieved via peaceful talks and mutual agreements. Principles may be different," Zatulin said.



"Discussions of Kosovo's status and other international conflicts should be used in the Karabakh settlement process. Russia should play its role in the issue," Zatulin added, Novosti Armenia reports.
