ArmInfo.The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the most complicated as it has deep historical roots, Mikael Agasandyan, Director of the First Department of the CIS countries, RF Ministry of Foreign Affair, told RIA Novosti.
"The only way to a sustainable settlement lies through the consistent normalization of Armenian- Azerbaijani relations on the basis of negotiations, mutual respect of the parties, their readiness to compromise, make responsible decisions and implement them. In this context, I cannot fail to note the key mediating role played in this difficult process by Russia and President Vladimir Putin personally," he said.
