Azerbaijan and Armenia have final say in Karabakh conflict resolution, Russian FM says

Azerbaijan and Armenia have the final say in the process of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says. Russia, France and the US as the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group urge the parties to come to an agreement, but they cannot force the two states to resolve the conflict, the Russian minister stresses.

"This regional problem may be solved only if the parties make the crucial agreement. We cannot force them to settle the matter," Lavrov says.
