Istratov: Karabakh Conflict Will Not Be Solved by a UN Resolution
The Nagorno Karabakh conflict will not be solved by a UN resolution. Russia's position in the issue coincides with that of the OSCE MG co-chairs, said Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasily Istratov. The ambassador said that the main mission of the Minsk Group is the solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. "It is not possible to solve the conflict by dictating the ways. The sides should agree to the case by themselves," the Ambassador said. Vasily Istratov said that the conflicting sides know the ways of solution. "Both sides know what to do. Nagorno Karabakh is not a frozen conflict, it is a conflict temporarily put aside," Istratov said, reports APA.
