Moscow opposed to
A top Russian security official has said Moscow
was opposed to any "outside interference" with the resolution of
the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh.
Speaking on Friday in Yerevan, Yuri Zubakov, Deputy Secretary of
Russia`s Security Council, told a conference on security and
cooperation in the volatile Caucasus region that his country was
against attempts to force any "recipe" of the conflict settlement
upon the parties.
"The main responsibility should rest with the conflicting sides
themselves. And only a decision that would promote peace and
strengthen stability in the Caucasus and prevent it from turning
into a ground for military and political rivalry will be able to
stay on," Zubakov said.
According to the deputy secretary, though the sides have not
achieved any progress in the peace process so far, tendencies
inspiring optimism have been observed.
"Despite the fact that some important issues regarding the main
principles of the Garabagh settlement have yet to find their
solution, the tendency that has emerged is a basis for logical, but
cautious optimism."
