ST PETERSBURG, July 16 — Russia is ready to become a guarantor of
implementing agreements on Nagorno Karabakh by Armenia and Azerbaijan,
Russian President Vladimir Putin told a news conference on Sunday.

"The two countries should reach a compromise and Russia together
with its partners is ready to become a guarantor of implementing the
agreements," he said.

Putin recalled that "most G8 countries try to help settle the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to a certain degree," he said. French
President Jacques Chirac and U.S. President George W. Bush are actively
engaged in this process, he said.

"We want Armenia and Azerbaijan find a reasonable decision. We will
not impose our decision on them," he said

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
