Iran
Trying to re-launch the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.
With this aim the Azerbaijani and Russian presidents met in Sochi.
Ilham Aliyev arrived there at the invitation of Dmitry Medvedev.
Aliyev thanked Medvedev for his efforts in mediating the conflict
and said he is keen to come to terms with Armenia.
Nagorno-Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan to join Armenia in
late 1980s.
A military conflict erupted leaving 30,000 people dead on both sides.
The disputed region has been under Armenian control but is
internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan.
The OSCE Minsk group made up of Russia, France and the US mediated
the conflict for years without success.
Moscow has made an effort to break the deadlock in talks between the
conflicting sides.
The leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia held nine trilateral
summits since 2008.
The last such meeting took place in Kazan in July.
Despite expectations, it failed to produce a roadmap document for
further settling the conflict.
Medvedev and Aliyev also discussed the relations between their
countries, international issues, the legal status of the Caspian Sea.
