"KARABAKH CONFLICT CAN BE SOLVED" President Medvedev

The Russian President Dimitri Medvedev spoke about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the negotiations he conducted over the last three years between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The President was answering questions at a meeting with students at Moscow State University which focused on ethnic problems in Russia.

The Russian  leader said that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict could be solved. The President added that  ‘the resolution of this complex but solvable problem depends on the good will of the two peoples and the two presidents, and whether they listen more to each other, make concessions and find a compromise”.

The President reaffirmed Russia's committment to continue supporting the peace process and he said that the negotiations will continue. Medvedev also gave a rare insight into the atmosphere during the usually secretive negotiations. He said that "the presidents are on not bad terms too; they communicate well when we sit at the table" and that their officials are on good terms with each other.
