MOSCOW
One of the main issues Russian and Armenian Foreign Ministers Sergei
Lavrov and Vardan Oskanyan will discuss during their talks in Moscow
will be the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the Russian Foreign Ministry's
spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said on Saturday in connection with the
planned visit by the Armenian foreign minister to Moscow due from
July 5-7.
Russia is ready to render assistance in the conflict settlement
process and be a guarantor for an agreement acceptable for the
parties.
The parties themselves should find a compromise solution to the
problem, the diplomat noted.
The talks will also focus on cooperation between the two countries
within the CIS, the Organisation of the Treaty on Collective Security
and the EURASEC and coordination of efforts of the foreign ministries
to improve the situation in the Caucasian region.
Among the priority subjects will be also trade and economic, cultural
and humanitarian cooperation.
Moscow and Yerevan are determined to take purposeful and necessary
moves on the bilateral and multilateral basis in fight against
terrorism, Yakovenko said.
Efficient practical cooperation between law-enforcement structures
and security services supports political cooperation in the area.
The visit by the Armenian foreign minister will give an additional
impetus to Russian-Armenian relations that have a durable legal
basis, the Russian diplomat noted.
Oskanyan is also planned to meet with Chairman of the State Duma's
Committee on CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots Andrei
Kokoshin.
