RA President Serzh Sargsyan, along with his wife, Rita Sargsyan,
will go to Moscow for an official visit on January 18, upon the
invitation of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. During the visit,
the two state leaders will continue high-level talks, dicsussing
issues related to cooperation between the two strategically allied
countries in different spheres and regional issues.
During the Moscow visit, a trilateral meeting between the presidents
of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan might also be discussed, said
press secretary of the RA president, Samvel Farmanyan, responding
to journalists' questions as to whether the news that at the end of
January, the presidents of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan were to
hold a meeting with the aim of discussing the Nagorno-Karabakh issue
was in fact true.
According to Farmanyan, Russia, as a OSCE Minsk Group co-chair
country, is making serious efforts in mediation toward resolving the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict - a move that Armenia highly praises.
"Through the mediating efforts of the President of the Russian
Federation, [and] with the participation of Armenia's, Russia's and
Azerbaijan's presidents, two meetings have already taken place.
"Since the conflict hasn't yet reached a peaceful resolution, it's
natural that as with Armenia's and Azerbaijan's separate meetings,
new meetings in other forms, might take place. There's nothing unusual
here, [what's] unusual would be the opposite, if there weren't any
new meetings," said the president's press secretary.
Farmanyan also informed the press that the revised version of the
Madrid Principles on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
have not been officially presented to the country's leadership,
as was previously reported by some sources.
