Alexander Lukashenko: we never united against anyone

It’s impossible to be distanced from definite problems, including Transnistria, Crimea and Nagorno Karabakh, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said.

“I often discussed the Karabakh issue with the former and incumbent presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia. I have never interfered with the problems and nuances and we have never used this question in politics or united against anyone. But it’s a painful matter for all of us,” he told Trend News.

“This Gordian knot should be cut. And the most important factor is that the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia should resolve the problem by themselves, without any intermediaries, who can provoke undertaking of commitments and impose opinion of third parties. Resolution should first of all be based on the interests of people living in Azerbaijan and Armenia. We support the peace process held between presidents and nations,” Mr. Lukashenko said.
