ArmInfo. No other states have any influence or participation in the Karabakh conflict settlement, Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin told reporters in Yerevan, when replying to ArmInfo's question about the Turkish foreign minister's statement on the Karabakh problem.
The diplomat stressed that he is unaware with the Turkish minister's statement, but he added that one thing is clear - the Karabakh conflict can be resolved under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group. "Every issue will be addressed within the OSCE Minsk Group. As far as I know, this month the international mediators will visit the region and meet with the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Let's wait for the results of these meetings," Ambassador Volynkin said.
To recall, Mevlut Cavusoglu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey, stated at the autumn plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on October 12 that Turkey has exerted sincere efforts for peaceful settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "The Minsk Group and Russia are making efforts for the settlement of the conflict. The issue of withdrawing Armenian Armed Forces' troops from the occupied Azerbaijani territories, particularly from the 5 districts has been on the agenda recently. Russia has shared these efforts with us, and so did we. It's because we support any solution that is in Azerbaijan's interests", the Turkish minister noted. Cavusoglu also stressed that the OSCE Minsk Group should ramp up its efforts.
