Baku pins great hopes on Russia in resolving the conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh, Azeri presidential secretariat spokesman Ali
Hasanov said.
"We expect a lot from Russia in settling the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. There is no other country in the world that would wield
more influence in settling this conflict," Hasanov told journalists
in the run-up to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's planned
visit to Baku on April 3-4.
Russia's role in settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can be
explained by its unprecedented influence on Armenia, he said.
Hasanov said he hopes Russian President-elect Vladimir Putin will
continue outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev's active peacemaking
steps toward settling the conflict. "We believe these efforts will
be continued this year as well, and we will witness very serious
progress," he said.
Azerbaijan and Russia will discuss cooperation priorities for the
coming years during Lavrov's visit to Baku, Hasanov said. "This visit
should be viewed as an important step in determining issues of mutual
interest," he said.
