"On January 24, Moscow will host a meeting of Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers," Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said on January 14.

Another meeting of the foreign ministers with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs will take place early in February.

Asked whether the independence referendum in South Sudan can serve as a precedent for the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, the Armenian FM said, "Most of the UN member states can serve as a precedent for Karabakh. The events going on in South Sudan prove that no one can exert violence against other nations or restrict people's right to self-determination through annihilation. They also show the path taken by the international community," said Minister Nalbandian.

Armenian Foreign Ministry regrets that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan made a statement on demolition of "Monument of Humanity" in Kars. According to Nalbandian, similar statements further spoil Armenia-Turkey relations.

"This statement is a new obstacle to Armenia-Turkey rapprochement," the minister stressed.

"The monstrous monument must be pulled down," Erdogan was quoted as saying.
