Belarus is ready to provide assistance for the peaceful resolution of Karabakh conflict, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said in an interview with Azerbaijan’s Trend agency.

“This also concerns the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. I will be sincere: just like the Belarusians didn’t remain indifferent to the events in the city of Donbass [Ukraine], our heart is aching for Karabakh in exactly the same way. This is no coincidence. All of us – Ukrainians, Russian, Belarusians, Armenians and Azerbaijanis, representatives of many other nations – come from a great country, one united family called the Soviet Union. Therefore, we will make every effort for the sake of peace, quiet life for people in any part of the world,” the president said.

Regarding the Karabakh conflict, the position of Minsk remains unchanged: the issue can be solved only through negotiations and in accordance with principles of international law.

“As a member of the OSCE Minsk Group, Belarus is ready to provide the necessary assistance to the sides of the conflict to find a peaceful solution. We believe there is no greater value for people than peace and tranquility in their native land,” Lukashenko added.
