    Much attention was paid to regional problems during the talks,
    Putin said.

    "Our countries are interested in stabilizing the situation in the
    Caucasus, that is, in the creation of an atmosphere of confidence,"
    Putin said.

    The two discussed prospects for the settlement of Nagornyy Karabakh.
    In this regard, Putin said that "everybody is looking forward to the
    continuation of direct contacts between the presidents of Armenia
    and Azerbaijan".

    Cementing partnership relations, particularly in fighting common
    threats such as terrorism, transnational crime and illegal arms and
    drug trafficking, was also discussed, the president said.
