RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA: NO HOSTILITIES TO OCCUR IN KARABAKH CONFLICT ZONE IN NEXT FEW YEARS
In the course of the final press conference due to the completion of the diplomatic mission in Armenia Russian Ambassador to Armenia Anatoly Dryukov called inadmissible one of the country pursuing a hostile policy towards the other republic, moreover at the moment when talks over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict are under way. "Let us suppose that the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan agree upon the ways of settlement of the conflict, however meeting these arrangements will be harder, virtually impossible in a hostile atmosphere in the countries," the Ambassador noted. In his opinion, there will be no hostilities in the Karabakh conflict zone in the next few years, as the international community is not interested in it.
