Russia proposed to leave the status of Karabakh to future generations, said the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference.
“At least, from that period, the concept appeared to postpone the status of Karabakh for later. The concept was very simple: the Armenians leave five Azerbaijani regions around Karabakh, leaving two districts that connect Armenia with Karabakh, and fate is fate These two areas, and they are Azerbaijani, no one disputes this, but the fate of these two areas remaining Azerbaijani regions will be determined in the bent, with the determination of the status of Karabakh. Then the concept appeared for the first time to leave the status for later. And later it was meant to the next generation, figuratively speaking. At a meeting in Sochi at the end of October (2022), we wanted to return to this issue and understand how much our partners are ready to act on the basis of that gentlemanly understanding- to solve all issues, and leave the status of Karabakh for later. But President Aliyev And Prime Minister Pashinyan brought from Prague the same document stated that they wanted to sign a peaceful contract, guided by the UN Charter and Alma-Ata declaration. And when signing this agreement, the Armenian colleagues tell us that let the Russian Federation confirm its proposals on the status of Karabakh, well, you yourself understand that this is a little not from the opera of negotiations, but from another opera, ”said Lavrov.
