He said that the meeting largely focused on the Karabakh theme and the necessity of creating conditions to speed up the negotiation process.
"Threatening to use force is unacceptable. It causes damage to the peace process. There is no alternative to the Minsk Group co-chairmanship format for the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, if we are really committed to seeking a mutually acceptable solution. The leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia as well as those of international organizations have agreed to this. The co-chairs of the Minsk Group are not inactive. The latest statement adopted in Munich underscores the unacceptability of the use of force and military rhetoric," he said.
Lavrov also added that they will continue to make efforts to defuse the emotionally tense atmosphere surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh.
Nalbandian said that all expressed unanimous agreement in Munich as to the unacceptability of use of force as well as non-fulfillment of the ceasefire agreements signed in 1994 and 1995, and other agreements adopted in St. Petersburg and Vienna. According to him, the agreements reached in Astrakhan concerning an exchange of prisoners and the dead were also mentioned.
