The issues related to the status of Nagorno-Karabakh are the main topic of the political process now. This is what Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov said during a press conference today.

“This is the main topic since the process of returning five and then two regions to Azerbaijan is already in progress. Azerbaijan is establishing temporary regimes and will be restoring peaceful life there. Let’s not forget that the issues related to refugees and internally displaced persons haven’t been solved yet. The status of Nagorno-Karabakh hasn’t been specified yet, and President Aliyev also talked about that. The stats can be determined only after it becomes clear what rights will be granted to those who have lived in Nagorno-Karabakh and have the right to return to Nagorno-Karabakh, and of course, to those who have continued to be in this territory all this time,” Lavrov said.
