The parties to Karabakh conflict are to say the final word on Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said.

“We believe the two sides should agree. And the meeting between President Aliyev and Sargsyan in November in Vienna was somehow reassuring,” Lavrov said during the Tuesday press conference.

The presidents were generally satisfied with their conversation and agreed to continue the discussion at the level of the foreign ministries and personal dialogue. Lavrov noted that Russia together with France and the United States is trying to help establish a dialogue.

There are co-chairs’ offers that are on the table deposited in the OSCE. These recommendations are not rejected by the parties, but they require extra effort to come to an agreement in principle how to solve this regional problem.

“We will provide assistance, but let me stress again the main thing is the parties’ agreement with the principles that will form the basis of the settlement. We will not do the job for them. But we encourage both sides. Together with the Americans and the French we are ready to offer some ideas for consideration of Baku and Yerevan,” Lavrov said.

Asked about presence of NKR representation at Armenia’s Embassy in Russia, Lavrov said he has no information.
