“We don’t intend to touch upon any baseless conversation. Today we signed documents with RF Prime Minister, and I consider, we’ll provide clarifications to the press in the upcoming days,” the Prime Minister said.
“The importance of the ceasefire was stressed, the 1994 truce maintenance and strengthening, and the exclusively peaceful settlement within the OSCE Minsk group.

Russia is ready to use its influence for the political settlement of the conflict, within the OSCE Minsk group, so that the escalation of the conflict is excluded, as it’s full of dangerous risks,” Medvedev said.
