Kremlin notes differences in Russian, Turkish approaches to Karabakh settlement process

MOSCOW. Nov 12 (Interfax) - The approaches of Russia and Turkey to the methods of settling the Karabakh conflict have been different from the very beginning, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"You know that we have had different views from the beginning," Peskov told the press on Thursday.

"Russia, the UN, the U.S., France, and other European countries are confident that there is no alternative to settling this conflict with political and diplomatic methods. We stay committed to this point of view," Peskov said.

"Turkey has a different opinion," he added.

"Nevertheless, the interaction between Russia and Turkey in the resolution of various regional issues has proven to be efficient," he said.

"We value this interaction, as well as the level of mutual confidence and cooperation," Peskov said.

"As you know, our president also appreciates the constructive approach of his Turkish vis-a-vis, President Erdogan. They are continuing a rather close and substantive dialogue but, of course, so to say, certain nuances and differences exist in the approaches to such difficult substances and we intend to resolve them in the course of dialogue with our Turkish partners," he said.
