"According to Russia, the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can only be achieved through peaceful negotiations, whose members should be guided by international law and relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council. The resolution of the conflict must take into account the interests of Armenia and Azerbaijan, based on the observance of well-known principles - non-use of force, respect for territorial integrity, equality and respect people's right for self-determination."
