    Speaker supports idea of Caucasian Four meeting in May

    By Tamara Ivanova, Viktor Schulman

    BAKU, April 21

    The chairman of the Russian Federation Council upper house of
    parliament supported on Thursday the idea of holding a meeting 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.
