The participation of third parties in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict depends entirely on the political will of the conflicting parties. The statement came from Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, RIA Novosti reported.

"Indeed, it is not yet possible to confirm that the parties are adhering to the previously reached ceasefire and humanitarian truce agreements. Sadly, the parties do not adhere to them," Peskov said, commenting on the Turkish vice president's statement.

Earlier, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay stated that Russia has failed to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis and the issue cannot be resolved without Turkey.

"As for the participation of third countries in the existing settlement formats, it depends solely on the political will of the conflicting parties. The participants of the conflict are Azerbaijan and Armenia. And participation in the settlement of the conflict, becoming a mediator, or participation in the formats is possible only with the consent of both parties," Peskov said.
