The chairman of the Russian Federation Council upper house of

parliament speakers of the Caucasian Four group in Moscow late in
May.
The idea came from the speaker of Azerbaijani parliament, Murtuza
Aleskerov. The Russian speaker, Sergei Mironov, is in Baku for an
official visit at the head of a parliamentary delegation.
>>From May 24 to 27, an Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation will pay
an official visit to Russia. Aleskerov believes the Caucasian Four
meeting could take place during that visit. Mironov confirmed that
the date and the venue were acceptable. He said he would discuss it
with the Georgian parliament speaker as well as with the leadership
of Armenian parliament.
"We are ready to meet and discuss any problems without restrictions
and with utmost sincerity," the speaker said. There have already been
five meetings of the Caucasian Four. He explained a pause in them
with organizational issues, as well as election campaigns in Georgia
and Armenia. Mironov believes "a lot of issues and information for
discussions have amassed".
He stressed that the main value of these meetings is their utmost
sincerity. "It is not always pleasant," he admitted. However, "all
participants in the meetings benefit from that and begin to
understand each other better," he stressed.
