    Russia plans to further contribute to the negotiations on the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict settlement, President Dmitry Medvedev told a news
    conference after the talks with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsian
    on Monday.

    "The important theme of our talks is stronger stability in the
    Caucasus," the Medvedev said adding he had exchanged opinions on the
    situation in Nagorno Karabakh with Sargsian.

    "I am personally confident that a fair solution to the conflict can
    be found only through political means," he said noting that much
    progress has been achieved in this direction of late.

    "Russia plans to further contribute to the negotiating process as a
    co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group and through direct contacts between
    the Armenian and Azerbaijani authorities," Medvedev said.

    Sargsian, in turn, highlighted Russia's role in the talks on the
    conflict settlement.

    "I once again thanked Russia's president and foreign minister for
    mediatory efforts they are taking in close cooperation with other
    countries-co-chairs of the Minsk Group. Through Dmitry Anatolyevich's
    mediation and personal participation ten meetings between the Armenian
    and Azerbaijani presidents took place, three statements that created
    opportunities for emerging signs of confidence between the sides were
    signed," he said.

    The Armenian president referred to the statement on Nagorno Karabakh
    signed by the Russian, French and U.S. leaders.

    "During our today's meeting I once again confirmed Armenia's adherence
    to the soonest possible settlement of the conflict exclusively
    through peaceful means and on the basis of integral principles of
    the humanitarian law," Sargsian said.
