Russia actively settling post-Soviet conflicts – Lavrov
BAKU. Feb 2 (Interfax) – Russia is playing an active role in settling
conflicts in the post-Soviet space, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
said on Wednesday.
“Although Russia is generating a large number of initiatives on ways
to settle conflicts in the post-Soviet space, the conflicting parties
are still experiencing a shortage of such initiatives,” Lavrov told a
news conference following talks with his Azeri counterpart Elmar
Mamedyarov.
Russia is taking part in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict as a co-chairman of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe’s Minsk Group, alongside France and the U.S.,
he said.
