"We will most probably touch upon the Nagorno Karabakh issue at the
summit, especially since the G8 is trying to help with resolving the
conflict," President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin said
at a G8 summit news briefing in Strelnya, St. Petersburg following
the first day of the summit, REGNUM correspondent reported.
"It is desirable that Armenia and Azerbaijan find an acceptable
decision," the Russian President said. "I can confirm our position:
Russia will not force a decision neither on Armenia nor on
Azerbaijan. The compromise has to be reached by the peoples of these
countries," Putin underlined. He added that Russia is ready to become
a guarantor of carrying out these agreements.
The G8 summit convened in St. Petersburg on July 15. In the coming
days, leaders of Russia, USA, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, Italy,
France, and Canada, as well as the Chairman of the European Commission
Jose Manuel Barroso and heads of invited states will hold a number
of sessions and bilateral meetings.
