stability in the South Caucasus, according to the Russian president.
Dmitry Medvedev's addressed the situation in the South Caucasus region
in recent comments published in The Business Year - The Business
Year-Azerbaijan 2011.

independence.
Medvedev particularly said that ensuring stability in the Caucasus is
of paramount importance to Russia and can serve as a basic concept
enabling the country to develop ties with Azerbaijan. The prolongation
of the Russian base's presence in Armenia (a decision made in the
course of Medvedev's visit to Armenia earlier this year) should be
consideredin that context, he added.
He further addressed the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement talks
and stressed Russia's role in the process. He said the frequency of
Russia mediated meetings between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders
has reached 'historic maximum'. Medvedev considered the discussions
important, with each of the parties pointing out to the complicated
moments in the process.
The Russian leader said it is his country's moral duty to promote the
continuation of the dialogue and expressed his personal willingness to
assist the conflicting sides, raising the more complicated issues in
the negotiation agenda.
Medvedev added that Russia is very serious its commitments to the deal
and will take relevant steps to bring long term peace and security to
the region considered to be "Russia's interest zone".
