A step-by-step approach on Karabakh mentioned by Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov suggests a package settlement, spokesperson for Armenian Foreign Ministry believes.

“The matter is a package settlement with a step-by-step implementation which was repeatedly stated by the co-chairs,” Tigran Balayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“We welcome this statement. This is the essence of the proposals to create a mechanism to investigate incidents and increase the capacity of the office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office,” he added, commenting on Lavrov's statement.

Speaking during a press conference on Monday, Russian foreign minister said the conflict cannot be solved in one document, adding that this issue needs a step-by-step approach that will determine ways to work on the matters that require additional discussion to achieve a final settlement, including the status of Nagorno-Karabakh.
