Russia proposes intn'l status for humanitarian response center in Karabakh

STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 8, ARTSAKHPRESS: At a press conference that followed his private talks with Armenian FM Ara Ayvazyan, Sergey Lavrov proposed an international status for the structure initiated by President Vladimir Putin.

"We also considered plans for creating a humanitarian response center. This is President Putin's initiative. We proposed internationalizing the center with the involvement of Armenia and Azerbaijan," Tert.am reports, citing RIA Novosti.

Noting that the promotion of refugees' return is acquiring a steady character, Lavrov said he also sees that people are feeling "increasingly confident" in that process.

"So we will reinforce those sentiments to the best of our efforts. Also the negotiations over internationalizing the humanitarian response center with the involvement of Armenia and Azerbaijan will have their contribution too that. The corresponding documents are now being considered with the help of the corresponding centers," he added.
The Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders agreed on plans for deploying Russian peacekeepers in the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) conflict zone subject to the November 9 statement on establishing ceasefire. Under the deal, the seven regions surrounding Artsakh, as well as the towns of Shushi and Hadrut (with most of the surrounding settlements), rural communities from the Askeran and Martuni regions, as well as the villages of Talish and Mataghis (Martakert region) passed under Azerbaijani control.
