Issues surrounding the assurance of security and stability in the
South Caucasus, including the problems of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict's settlement are planned to be discussed during Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian's visit to Moscow, spokesman
for the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Lukashevich said in an
interview with RIA Novosti today.
"We believe that the close coordination of foreign policy actions
with Yerevan at the regional level contributes to improving the
political situation in the region," Lukashevich said in an interview
in connection with Nalbandian's forthcoming official visit to Russia.
A wide range of issues of bilateral cooperation, international and
regional policy are planned to be discussed during the talks with
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Lukashevich said.
The Armenian delegation plans to meet with the leadership of the
Federation Council and the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the
Russian Federation, he said.
He stressed that Nalbandian will address the professors, teachers and
listeners of the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"Besides the intensive high-level dialogue, Russia and Armenia
maintain active, interdepartmental and inter-parliamentary contacts
and relations through the regions. The bilateral legal framework is
being improved."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
