Russia sees no alternative to peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict, and, together with partners in the Minsk Group will continue its efforts aimed at reconciling the parties, Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin said in an interview with TASS.

“Unfortunately, the agreement reached under international mediation, including the establishment of a mechanism of investigations and expansion of OSCE observers in the conflict zone have not been implemented so far,” the diplomat noted. Moreover, on December 29 last year, there were clashes on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Armenian soldiers were killed, one of the attackers was killed in the Armenian territory.

In general, Russia wants to see peace and stability in Caucasus, he added.
