the Russian and Armenian presidents in Moscow on Tuesday.
"Russia and Armenia advocate the earliest possible settlement of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, using exclusively peaceful means,
on an equitable basis, acceptable to both parties, and welcome the
constructive efforts being made by the co-chairmen of the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Minsk Group to forge a
political-diplomatic solution to the conflict," the statement says.
Moscow and Yerevan "will coordinate their foreign policies in order
to make joint and synchronized steps to strengthen security, stability
and broader cooperation in the South Caucasus, the statement says.
Russia and Armenia will also "further develop bilateral military-
technical cooperation, not targeted against third countries," it says.
The parties stated that they "recognize the central role of the
United Nations in maintaining international peace and security with
the regional organizations' growing role in preventing conflicts and
in settling them peacefully."
