Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill believes that there is
progress in a settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. He said as
much when meeting the spiritual leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in
Baku earlier today. The Russian Patriarch described as very useful the
tripartite meeting at the ongoing Baku religious summit. The Head of
the Caucasus Muslim Board Sheikh-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pasha-zade said
that he was grateful to Patriarch Kirill for the latter's mediatory
efforts in a settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The top
Caucasus Muslim leader feels that the Russian Orthodox Church has
always seen the essence of the conflict correctly, without ever
regarding it as an interreligious one.
