Russia will do everything to find a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at Thursday’s live Q & A session.

He added that the Karabakh conflict settlement talks are getting underway.

“This is a very sensitive topic,” Putin said. “We must approach it with the well-known medical precept of ‘do no harm.”’

The Russian president stressed that the Karabakh conflict shall be resolved by solely political methods, and mutual concessions by the two conflicting parties—i.e. the Armenian and the Azerbaijani.
