Baku, Yerevan need to work to find solution to Karabakh problem –
Putin
Armenia and Azerbaijan should find a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem themselves without shifting responsibility to Russia, Russian
President Vladimir Putin said.
"The burden of the problem should not be placed on us. You should
find an acceptable way to settle the situation yourself," the
president said at a news conference in the Kremlin on Thursday.
Moscow tries to assist Baku and Yerevan to find the solution to the
problem wherever possible, he said.
"However, you should make decisions yourselves. We cannot impose any
ways out from the current situation on anyone, because should we try
to do this, we will spoil relations with either the Armenians or the
Azeris for centuries," the president said.
