HEAD OF RUSSIAN DELEGATION PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE DURING NEGOTIATIONS, ARMENIAN FM SAYS
YEREVAN, April 20. /Mediamax/. The First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Vjacheslav Trubnikov, heading the Russian delegation at the negotiations on Karabakh settlement in Florida, played a very important role in the process.
Foreign Minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanian said this speaking by the "Armenia" TV Thursday. He stressed that each time when the negotiations entered a deadlock, it was Trubnikov to find compromise decisions.
Oskanian noted that Russia had a direct and very active participation in Florida
negotiations. It can be proved by the fact that from the 3 countries-co-chairs of the Minsk group only Russia was presented on a level of the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Oskanian says. --0--
