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.
