President of Russia Vladimir Putin believes patience, wisdom and respect towards each other is necessary for finding solution to the Karabakh conflict, he said during a meeting with Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents on Sunday.

“We have to show patience, wisdom, respect for each other in order to find a solution,” he said.

Russian president hailed both leaders’ statement on intention to solve the conflict peacefully, ITAR-TASS reported. He recalled that the conflict broke out long ago as a heritage of the Soviet Union.

“This is the most important thing as in fact there is no bigger tragedy than death of people,” Putin added.

He is convinced that any difficult situations can be solved if there is good will, and “there is good will of the Azerbaijani people and the Armenian people”.

Putin said the presidents of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan held an informal meeting following the talks on Saturday, but the Karabakh conflict was not discussed.
