Lavrov noted that Russia continues to support dialogue for the resolution of the Transnistrian conflict: “Meanwhile, Russia and other co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group continue their efforts to bring closer the positions of the parties to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict basing on the principles previously proposed by the Presidents of co-chairing countries.”
Russian Minister emphasized the importance of protecting stability in the South Caucasus.
