The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, expressed
hope on Monday that his current meeting with the top clerics of
Armenia and Azerbaijan would be a help in governmental talks to settle
the two-decade Armenian-Azeri conflict over Azerbaijan's disputed
Armenian-speaking enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"We believe that interaction between the religious leaders with my
modest participation is providing a favorable background for the
political dialogue," Kirill said during the meeting, held in Yerevan,
capital of Armenia. "I hope that the meeting will be an important if
relatively small step toward the goals that we set ourselves."
Yerevan is hosting a meeting of the Interreligious Council of the
Commonwealth of Independent States on Monday and Tuesday.
