Visiting Speaker of the Russian State Duma Sergei Naryshkin praised
a high level of Russo-Armenian parliamentary cooperation at a meeting
with the leadership of the Armenian National Assembly on Tuesday.
Sergei Naryshkin heads a delegation of the State Duma which arrived
in Armenia on an official visit.
Naryshkin drew attention to the coincidence of the positions of Russian
and Armenian parliamentarians which they demonstrate on international
venues - the CIS Parliamentary Assembly, the Collective Security
Treaty Organization (CSTO), Council of Europe. " We often coordinate
our positions," Naryshkin stressed.
Russia is prepared to continue to be a mediator in the Nagorno-Karabakh
settlement, Naryshkin declared in a separate statement at a meeting
with representatives of the Armenian science held at Armenian Academy
of Sciences on Tuesday. The Duma speaker stressed it was important
to pool maximum efforts to reach settlement of the Nagorno-Karbach
conflict - one of the most difficult conflicts continuing for a long
time, he noted.
Mediatory efforts made by Russia and other co-chairmen of the Minsk
Group are aimed at overcoming the existing differences between the
parties involved in the conflict who should take a first serious step
to meet each other, Naryshkin said.
Russia hopes that in the near future positive steps would be made in
the process of negotiations on Nagorno-Karabakh, Naryshkin stressed.
"Russia is prepared to continue its assistance as a mediator to reach
a mutually acceptable political settlement of the bloody conflict,"
Naryshkin declared.
