“The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh gives us serious concern.

Not because it is very close to our borders, but mainly because both Armenia and Azerbaijan are not foreign countries to us.

These are not strangers to us, "- quoted by TASS diplomat.

Nebenzya stressed that Russia has "special relations with both countries."

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow is making every effort to withdraw the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh from the acute phase.
