ArmInfo. "We have heard about the intention of the de facto authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh to resettle in the territories under control the Armenians who left Lebanon. We read a report that two Lebanese families expressed a desire to settle in Nagorno-Karabakh.
We do not have verified data on the real influx of Lebanese refugees into Nagorno-Karabakh and the territory around it," said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry at today's briefing, answering the question of an Azerbaijani journalist that Armenia is pursuing a" policy of illegal settlement in the "occupied territories of Azerbaijan".
According to Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry proceeds from the fact that now it is necessary to concentrate on restoring the negotiation process aimed at resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, including the problem of refugees and displaced persons in the region.
On September 14, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs held consultations by telephone with the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia and conveyed to them the mediators' proposals on further steps in the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, including holding separate meetings of the troika with each of the ministers to start. We look forward to a positive reaction from the parties.
