    CIS and Russia are interested in resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and are making efforts in this regard,
    said CIS Executive Secretary Sergei Lebedev.

    "CIS and Russia are interested in solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    and we go step by step in the issue of rapprochement between the two
    countries," Lebedev told reporters in Baku.

    "Recently, in Astrakhan, the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan
    under the mediation of the President of the Russian Federation have
    agreed to exchange dead bodies of servicemen, and it almost became
    the first steps for rapprochement of positions. These are small steps,
    but at the same time, we are discussing the liberation of the occupied
    territories, creating a corridor between Azerbaijan and Nakhichivan,
    Karabakh and Armenia," he said.

    Astrakhan hosted the trilateral meeting of the presidents of
    Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia - Ilham Aliyev, Dmitry Medvedev and
    Serzh Sargsyan Oct.27. The parties have signed a declaration, which
    envisaged the return of prisoners of war and takes a humanitarian
    nature with the mediation of the International Committee of the Red
    Cross and the OSCE Minsk Group.

    Armenia transferred bodies of Azerbaijani servicemen Mubariz Ibrahimov
    and Farid Ahmadov to the Azerbaijani side on Saturday.

    Earlier, Azerbaijan transferred to Armenia the body of Manvel
    Saribekyan, who earlier committed suicide, while Armenia liberated
    Azerbaijani citizen Eldar Tagiyev from captivity.

    According to Lebedev, Armenia and Azerbaijan are brotherly countries
    for Russia.

    According to him, everything possible is done for the rapprochement
    of these countries, because neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan will move
    to somewhere else. "It's their God-given land and they are doomed
    to live together. Therefore, Russia will make every effort for their
    rapprochement as a co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group, and as their partner
    in the CIS, and as a neighboring country," said Lebedev.
