    Russia to support Karabakh solution suitable to all parties

    MOSCOW, June 14 -- Russia is ready to support that option of resolving
    the Nagorno Karabakh problem which will suit all the parties involved,
    and act as a guarantor of settlement, if a compromise is reached,
    Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said on Tuesday.

    "We oppose against the pressing of any recipes from the outside on the
    parties to the conflict, and assume that the Azerbaijanis and Armenians
    bear the main responsibility for a final choice," Yakovenko said.

    In his view, a solution of the problem will be viable if it brings
    back stability and quiet to Transcaucasia, and helps preserve the
    geopolitical balance of forces in the post-conflict period, preventing
    the region from becoming an area of international political and
    military rivalry.

    The spokesman noted that the Russian Foreign Ministry gives a positive
    valuation to the results of the recent meeting between the Azerbaijani
    and Armenian presidents in Warsaw in May 2005, which gave an impulse
    to the search for the soonest political settlement of the Karabakh
    conflict.
