ArmInfo. "We express our concern over attempts to violate the status quo in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, to stall the negotiation process and resolve the issue by intimidation and threats of the use of force." The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee Konstantin Zatulin announced on March 26 at the press conference in the Armenian parliament for CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots.
According to him, the Russian Federation for its part will do everything possible to prevent attempts to resolve this issue by military means. The deputy noted that the Russian side is interested in an exclusively peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict. "I also wanted to confirm that the Russian Federation intends to fulfill its allied obligations to Armenia in the field of defense and security," the MP stressed. "Any threat to Armenia will be perceived by Russia as a threat to itself, if necessary, we are ready to ensure the security of Armenia," Zatulin said.
