Lavrov doesn't draw parallels between Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Karabakh
The situation in South Ossetia and Abkhazia should not influence on settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Russian Foreign Minister said.

"The Karabakh conflict differs from those in Abkhazia and South Ossetia," Sergei Lavrov told a news conference after the CSTO Foreign Ministers' meeting.

Saakashvili frustrated the talks and destroyed all settlement mechanisms. Nothing of the kind happens in case with the Karabakh conflict," he said, The Moscow Post reports.
