Russia as mediator could resolve Karabakh conflict - ex-Armenian president.
Russia as a mediator could resolve the territorial conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh, Moskovskiye Novosti daily reported on Thursday, quoting the first president of Armenia, Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
The presidents of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan will hold a trilateral meeting in Kazan on June 24. Settling the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be the main issue on the agenda at the meeting.
'Russia has a chance and I am convinced that the West would not be very much against the fact that this issue is resolved this way, if the conflicting parties take the same track,' Ter-Petrosyan said.
Ter-Petrosyan hopes that the meeting will make progress in resolving the problem and there is a probability of success thanks to the fact that Russia is acting as an intermediary.
'If both parties are on friendly terms with you, you are the best mediator - this is the law,' Ter-Petrosyan added.
