Konstantin Kosachev is concerned about situation over NKR
Konstantin Kosachev, Chairperson of the Council of the Federation Committee on Foreign Affairs, is concerned about the situation over the NKR. During the joint sitting of the RA NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations and the RF FA Federal Council’s International Committee, replying to the questions of Armenian journalists, he added, “We followed April events with great anxiety. You know, Russia reacted to those events immediately; we did our best to ease the bilateral tension. Thank God, we managed to do it in a short period.” There have been episodes in the NKR conflict resolution, when they hoped to achieve progress, “We discussed that issue in detail with the RA MFA and MoD, and we understood that Armenian side is willing to move forward, in this sense the Azerbaijani side defers. We can see the mission of Russia there, where Azerbaijan and Armenia arrive at a common denominator. We are ready to cooperate in those negotiations. I am sure that our parliamentary format will have its big role in that. Of course, there is direct communication with our Azerbaijani colleagues; I will convey them everything discussed over the conflict resolution. After April events, emotions have already calmed down and that’s why it is possible to resort to normal course of negotiations.”
