/PanARMENIAN.Net/ U.S. President Barack Obama will pay his first visit
to Russia as president on invitation of Dmitry Medvedev on July 6-8,
the Kremlin said on Monday.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov met in Washington last week to lay the groundwork for the
July summit between Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.
Lavrov said at the time the two nations had obvious differences over
Georgia but progress in key areas such as arms control would not be
held hostage by such disagreements.
U.S.-Russia relations deteriorated under the administration of George
W. Bush, sinking to post-Cold War lows after Moscow crushed Georgia
in a brief war last August and over differences on a missile defense
system planned by Washington in Europe, Reuters reported.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is expected to pay a visit to Moscow
during the same period.
Besides, Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan are reported to meet
in July.
