Armenia FM: We would prefer Russia not to sell arms to Azerbaijan
The statement came from Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian in an interview to Dnevnik daily of Slovenia, news.am reports.
“But we’re not asking friendly countries, partner countries to do something for Armenia against somebody else. What we are expecting concretely on Nagorno-Karabakh issue is not to support one side against the other, just to be in line with the position of the international community, expressed by the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group.

And Russia is one of the three Co-Chairs. Five statements on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement were adopted by the Presidents of Co-Chair countries - Russia, the United States and France.

“Our position is in line with those statements, with the proposals of the Minsk Group Co-Chairs. We welcomed all those five statements of the Co-Chair countries and said that we are ready to go to the settlement on the basis of three principles of the international law and the elements, proposed by them,” Nalbandian noted.

Reflecting on the current phase in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace talks and responding to the query on whether it is “all in the interest of big powers that this territorial dispute in the Caucasus resolve,” the Armenia FM noted:

“I don’t think we have to blame big powers or small countries or anybody else", he said.
