Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan disseminates statement refuting Azerbaijani media reports on Nagorny Karabakh

Azerbaijani mass media have quoted the statement by Leonid Filimonov, representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry for Stavropol Krai, on Nagorny Karabakh conflict and Russia's stance on it.

Azerbaijani media quoted Filimonov as saying that there have been many conflicts in the world similar to that over Nagorny Karabakh and it should not be resolved hastily. "When one makes hasty steps, the problem is not settled in the political way. Of course, we recognize Nagorny Karabakh as occupied territory. However, resolution of this problem requires big patience. It has been repeatedly mentioned also by the Russian leadership."

In this connection, the Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan has disseminated a statement saying: "The Embassy has to explained that Filimonov's statements were certainly misquoted by the mass media, which created a distorted picture of Russia's stance on the given issue."
