Negotiations with the Azerbaijani side to resume the natural gas supply in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) continue—with the assistance of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, the Artsakh Info Center informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

"The AR [(Artsakh Republic)] government is pursuing the solution of this important humanitarian issue as soon as possible, and we assure that all possible measures are being taken—in the diplomatic platform as well—which, naturally, are not subject to publicizing.

"In order to resolve the problems caused by the Azerbaijani side, by the decree of the AR President, the power to work with the Russian peacekeeping contingent and conduct negotiations with the Azerbaijani side has been vested in AR Security Council Secretary Vitaly Balasanyan," the Artsakh Info Center statement added, in particular.
