YEREVAN.- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will arrive in Yerevan
on Thursday evening, a diplomatic source told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
During his meetings with Armenia's leadership Minister Lavrov will
present Russian President's approaches to resolution of the Karabakh
conflict.
Later Russian FM plans to visit Baku as well.
The meeting of Armenian, Azerbaijani held on the initiative of Russian
leader Dmitry Medvedev took place in Kazan on June 24. The sides
failed to agree on Basic principles of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement despite the calls of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing states
Russia, U.S. and France.
In a statement issued after the meeting the presidents noted "the
achievement of mutual understanding on a number of issues. Solution
of these issues contributes to creating conditions for the approval
of the basic principles."
Speaking at a press conference in Kiev last week Armenian leader
said that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the OSCE mediators
confirmed their intention to intensify mediatory efforts despite the
failure of Kazan talks.
Unsuccessful talks in Kazan are not indicative of end of the peace
process on the whole, he added.
"During a phone conversation Russian President Medvedev informed me
he had sent his views of the problem in written form. I think we will
soon receive it to see how to move forward," Sargsyan said.
