"We actively involving the international organizations of the UN system, encourage them to more actively, more proactively show their capabilities for the residents of this region. We actively support the International Committee of the Red Cross, which also works in Karabakh," he said.
At the same time, Moscow expects UNESCO to be more active in preserving historical and cultural memory in and around Nagorno-Karabakh, Lavrov added. "Yesterday I spoke in detail with the Director General of UNESCO about the need for this organization to offer its services more proactively in terms of preserving the cultural, civilizational, religious heritage in and around Nagorno-Karabakh," Lavrov noted. "This would be an important contribution to ensuring reconciliation between religions, ethnicities in this ancient region of the world," he added.
