    Russia not to weaken efforts for peace settlement of Karabakh conflict
    Sat 27 February 2010 | 08:54 GMT Text size:


    Vladimir Dorokhin Russia is interested in the resolution of the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Karabakh on the basis of
    norms of international law.

    "Russia is sincerely interested in the settlement of this conflict on
    the basis of commonly accepted norms of international law. The
    difficulties in the negotiation process will not weaken our efforts in
    this direction as of mediators", Russian ambassador in Baku Vladimir
    Dorokhin told in his interview with Azerbaijan's Echo.

    He noted that Russia is proud of its `crucial participation' in the
    attainment of the ceasefire agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan
    signed in 1994.

    "I would not belittle the negotiations and signing any documents. A
    complex negotiation process on the conflict is underway and it can be
    attributed to the category of the most complicated ones in the world",
    the ambassador said.

    Asked about the preference to be possibly given to any party in case
    hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan are launched, Dorokhin
    voiced hope that "Russia will never face the need to choose, which is
    proposed in this hypothesis".

    As for the relations between Russia and Azerbaijan, Dorokhin said that
    people in Russia do not know much about Azerbaijan.

    "One moment had an unpleasant affect on me in period of preparation.
    It turned out that Russia has the only scientific book about
    Azerbaijan throughout almost 20 years of its existence as an
    independent state. However, upon arrival in Baku, I felt that we know
    too little about your country. This is bad and I always repeat this.
    Russia should know its partners and assess them adequately, especially
    such close ones as Azerbaijan", the ambassador said.
