“He (Secretary of state USA Rex Tillerson – ed) said that whatever the format, we talked about that, too, whatever the format – most importantly, to attain the objectives of Minsk. Do not have the points to strike out, to just peace was achieved. That’s what he meant,” – said the first Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs.
“I don’t want to interpret what he said. He said only that it is not necessary to do it in this format. This, incidentally, gives us the opportunity to look wider. We also see, as all that the Minsk format is the right mechanism, but really his options are limited, and everybody understands that,” added Pristayko.
