Russia to make every effort to promote Karabakh conflict resolution - Lavrov
Russia will make every effort to promote its initiatives in the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said Russia`s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a briefing in Baku Apr. 7.
The briefing was held after Lavrov`s meeting with his Azerbaijani and Iranian counterparts - Elmar Mammadyarov and Mohammad Javad Zarif.

"We shouldn`t relax in finding a solution to the conflict," said Lavrov, adding Russia is satisfied with the ceasefire agreement.

"There were contacts between Moscow and the parties [of the conflict] at all the levels, we tried to help our friends and we hope the ceasefire will be maintained," he said. "The situation demands working out confidence-building measures on the line of contact and looking back to the previous agreement reached during the talks."

Touching upon the meeting of the three countries` foreign ministers in Baku, Lavrov said the event focused on the coordination of security in the region and fighting drug trafficking.
