Karabakh problem solvable, but sides' will to find compromise is
needed - Medvedev
MOSCOW. Oct 21
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has pledged to continue assisting in
the search for a solution to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh,
stressing the need for both sides to reach an agreement.
Medvedev spoke about his impressions from regular meetings with the
Azeri and Armenian presidents, Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan, at a
meeting with young people on Thursday.
"Members of both presidents' inner circles get on well with each
other, and they easily switch to the Azeri language from the Armenian
language and back. It is not seen by everyone, but the presidents
themselves also get along well. They communicate very well when we sit
at the table together," the president said.
Medvedev, however, admitted that "the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has
real difficulties such as history, different understandings of legal
structures and different ranges of interests."
"Russia will certainly help resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
This work will continue," he said.
"In the end, the settlement of this very complicated, but solvable
problem depends on the goodwill of the two nations and the two
presidents, if they hear each other, move a little bit forward to meet
each other halfway and find compromises," the Russian president said.
