The Minister noted also, that both Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders had stated their acceptance of the format mentioned in all the documents they have signed. He stated also that the co-chairs are not inactive. "I cannot estimate like that what is going on within that frame of three," the Minister accentuated.
He reminded also, that the last of documents mentioned has been passed on the margins of Munich Security Conference, which clearly stated that any military scenario in the processes of conflicts settlement, including the Karabakh conflict, is unacceptable, as well as unacceptable is the military rhetoric, and there is a need to reach the full implementation of Vienna and St. Petersburgh Agreements. These documents do clearly set forth to work in this format and within the principles agreed between the parties within the support of co-chairs," Lavrov summarized.
