In the diplomat's words, the peacemakers have not suggested anything new. "We are working on the formula, which has been discussed in Paris and Key West. A more detailed discussion of the scheme, which the Presidents know well, is held. The novelty of our proposals lies only in the details," - Trubnikov explained. OSCE Minsk Group French Ambassador Phillip de Suremain noted the new initiatives offered by the mediators had been perceived by the leadership of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh with interest.
