    Interaction with Armenia among Russia foreign policy priorities

    By Svetlana Alexandrova, Alexandra Urusova

    MOSCOW


    The latest meeting of the Minsk group of the Organization for
    Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) for the settlement of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict showed that the sides are ready to look for
    the solution to this long-standing problem, Russian Foreign Minister
    Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday following the talks with his Armenian
    counterpart Vardan Oskanyan.

    The Russian minister pointed to the "coincidence of the positions of
    the two countries virtually on all the questions of the bilateral and
    international agenda".

    He stressed that interaction with Armenia "is a priority trend in
    Russian foreign policy". "This is fully manifested in such areas as
    cooperation in investment, trade and economic partnership and the
    political dialogue".

    He said the recently formed Russo-Armenian business council
    contributed much to the development of relations. Lavrov said
    cooperation between the two countries within the framework of the
    CIS, United Nations and the Council of Europe was discussed at the
    meeting.

    In his turn, Vardan Oskanyan expressed satisfaction with the results
    of the talks with Sergei Lavrov. "I am sure that our political
    dialogue will be continued, especially now that many interesting
    events take place in our region", he said.
