    Russia sees no point in UN considering the Karabakh problem - ministry

    MOSCOW

    The initiative to consider, in parallel with the OSCE, the issue of a
    Nagornyy Karabakh settlement at a session of the UN General Assembly
    "can hardly have a favourable effect on the talks process".

    This was stated today in the Russian Foreign Ministry in a comment on
    Russia's position on the issue of including in the session's agenda
    the item "the situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan".

    "Russia abstained during the voting, just like other co-chairmen of
    the OSCE Minsk Group," it was noted on Smolenskaya Ploshchad [Square,
    location of Foreign Ministry]. "The results of the voting show that a
    similar position is adhered to by the majority of the members of the
    world community."

    "Russia is interested in a most rapid resolution of the Nagornyy
    Karabakh problem and is promoting this in every way, be it on a
    bilateral basis or as co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group," it was
    stressed in the Russian Foreign Ministry.

    "The format of this group makes it possible to resolve any problems
    connected with the conflict and to ensure progress in achieving
    peace," the ministry is convinced.

    According to the Foreign Ministry, "apart from that, the recent
    meeting between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia established
    prospects for resuming talks to find a mutually acceptable solution".
