She also said there is an established format for solving this really old problem, and that the essence of conflict’s settlement is finding a compromise between the conflict’s parties.
“The situation requires moving forward, and, therefore, contacts in various formats have recently intensified,” Zakharova noted.
According to her, the search for a compromise is the rapprochement of the positions of the parties, regardless of how diametrically opposed they may be.
"Russia, for its part, as a participant of the relevant format, is doing everything possible to ensure that this compromise is found. I hope that it will be found, and the sooner the better, but not to the detriment of the future of the peoples of the two countries and, of course, to people living in Nagorno-Karabakh, "Zakharova said. -0-
