Russia resolved to continue mediation for peace and stability in South Caucasus

Russia is resolved to continue mediation for peace and stability in South Caucasus, Russian President stated.

“We spare no effort to prevent any possibility of a new war in the South Caucasus. Besides, the intermediary institutions dealing with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should meet the requirements of the countries which are holding complicated talks,” Dmitry Medvedev said during a joint news conference with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan.

“It’s impossible to impose mediators but is the conflicting sides voice wish to attract new intermediaries, Russia will accept the decision,” he said, adding that the OSCE Minsk Groups is still efficient.

For his part, President Sargsyan reiterated that the OSCE MG format is the most admissible for Armenia.

“True, the region is still in ‘no peace nor war’ condition. ‘No peace’ is not good but ‘no war’ is important, and this is the result of the Minsk Group Co-chairs’ endeavors,” he said.
