  • Karabakh Settlement Requires Multi-Level Dialogue - Shvydkoi

    KARABAKH SETTLEMENT REQUIRES MULTI-LEVEL DIALOGUE - SHVYDKOI

    Azerbaijan and Armenia should develop humanitarian contacts to
    foster the Karabakh conflict settlement, Special Envoy of the Russian
    President for International Cultural Cooperation Mikhail Shvydkoi said.

    "Nobody wants a war. Development of humanitarian contacts is very
    important to us because no matter what decisions are made it is
    essential they are made by the people," he told reporters in Baku
    on Thursday.

    A dialogue between national administrations and societies is needed
    for settling the Karabakh problem, Shvydkoi said. "I am positive that
    any contacts between public organizations, between civil societies
    also have paramount importance," he stressed.

    "People must understand why particular decisions have been made,"
    Shvydkoi added.

    The Russian presidential envoy said he expected some progress to be
    made after the Azeri presidential election in October 2013. "Although,
    they should not waste time because the public in Azerbaijan, Armenia
    and the international community are waiting for normalization steps,"
    he said.

    "I want to say once again that any efforts of the sort are welcome.

    The Russian position is clear - we want stability in the South
    Caucasus and stability in interstate relations, because we have
    strategic friendship with Armenia and strategic friendship with
    Azerbaijan. Stability is crucial for us. I hope that common sense
    will win in the end," Shvydkoi said.
