Kremlin: Karabakh "ownership" determined in UN resolutions

PanARMENIAN.Net - The "ownership" of Nagorno-Karabakh's territory has long been determined in the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday, December 4, RIA Novosti reports.

"The ownership of this territory is determined by the resolutions of the Security Council. Russia has not changed anything. In fact, not a single country has made any changes," Peskov said when asked whether Russia's stance on the status of Karabakh has changed after the war.

"And President [Vladimir] Putin said that Karabakh itself has not been recognized, not even by Armenia itself."

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev on November 9 signed a statement to end the war in Karabakh after almost 45 days. Under the deal, the Armenian side is returning all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.
