Mr.Grushko tried to make common answers to the questions and said Russian presidency of the Committee of Ministers will have a positive impact on the resolution of the conflict.

"The OSCE Minsk Group remains as main mediator regarding this issue. First of all, Azerbaijan and Armenia should come to an agreement on resolution. The Minsk Group is making all efforts to promote to find a suitable compromise. The parties could not agree on mainly two or three principles in the negotiations. We welcome the regular meetings of the heads of state for the resolution of the conflict. Despite lack of improvement in the negotiations, it is good that none of the parties step back from the peaceful settlement process," the deputy Foreign Minister said.
