Russian President Vladimir Putin sees nothing standing in the way of a peace treaty being signed between Baku and Yerevan following the developments in Karabakh, he said during a press conference, wrapping up his visit to Bishkek.
"I believe that it is quite possible. I simply cannot see any problems that would hamper the signing of a peace treaty now after the Karabakh developments. I just do not see any such problems," Vladimir Putin said.
Putin said only technical issues remain to be worked out concerning the border, its demarcation and delimitation.
"I believe they are technical issues. There are a hundred meters to one side or a kilometer to the other; it does not matter anymore. As long as both sides show goodwill, everything can be done ," the Russian president said.
He noted that the next steps can be taken, as they once agreed, to forge trade and economic ties and sort out infrastructure projects.
