In principle, the territorial integrity, self-determination and the exclusively peaceful settlement of the conflict are fixed at all types of documents which are being discussed between the sides. In any case the final decision should take into consideration all these principles. Neither Yerevan nor Baku debate over this issue”, the Russian FM said during a joint press conference with Armenian FM Zohrab Mnatsakanyan.
