The solution to the Karabakh conflict can be found only by its participants, not international mediators, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters today, TASS reports.

He noted, however, that Russia is working consistently in international formats to contribute to the resolution.

“Being a responsible member of those formats, Russia continues the consistent work towards the settlement of the Karabakh conflict,” he said, reminding that “those are not on-time efforts, it’s a consistent line.”

Peskov added that “some final solutions and initiatives should come from the participants of the conflict.”

“Neither the international mediators, nor Russia can solve the conflict instead of Armenia and Azerbaijan,” he said.

The settlement of Karabakh conflict was on the agenda of the Armenian-Russian summit in Moscow on the eve.

“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
