News.am. Russia welcomes the preservation of relative stability on the border and along the contact line as further reduction of tensions could help create a favourable atmosphere at the talks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Mediamax website ahead of his visit to Yerevan.
As for the final legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh, Lavrov said this is one of the most complicated issues.
“The heads of the countries that co-chair the OSCE Minsk Group have said more than once that this status must be determined at the talks by political means and based on the legally binding expression of will. The sides will still have to negotiate the parameters of this work, including its organisational aspects,” he said.
