Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is confident that there is no military solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Mr Lavrov emphasized that the conflict should be resolved by "peaceful means exclusively."

"As to the armament problem in the region, the parameters of armament and warlike equipment are regulated by international treaties supported by a number of verifying mechanisms," he said Friday after talks with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, RIA Novosti reports.
