The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Russia has issued a commentary in connection with the matter of the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

“The 1994 ceasefire agreement and the 1995 agreement on strengthening ceasefire in the Karabakh conflict are termless, and they still form the basis for the ceasefire in the conflict zone,” the commentary specifically reads. “This is a principal position, which fully meets the general approach of the OSCE [i.e. the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] Minsk Group ‘troika.’ It was outlined in the note of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the OSCE, which was sent to the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the OSCE, on April 12.”
