Russia feels special responsibility for Karabakh conflict settlement

Russia shows the greatest activity in resolving Karabakh conflict today, Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vladimir Dorokhin said.

"Out of the 3 presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries, only the Russian president personally deals with this issue," he told media.

He added that such activities are coordinated with the fellow OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, the U.S and France.

He said Russia feels special responsibility for resolving the conflict.

"We have a special chance and potential due to our unique relations with the conflicting parties," he said. "We believe our moral and historical obligation to use this chance,” Trend News quoted Dorokhin as saying.
