    Russian and Armenian foreign ministers will exchange views on the
    issue of settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, RIA Novosti
    reported on Apr.6.

    The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan began in 1988 when Armenia
    made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing
    war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

    The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
    of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
    holding peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented the
    UN Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

    Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will visit Moscow on
    Apr.7-8 and hold talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov,
    RIA Novosti reported citing Russian Foreign Ministry.

    During the negotiations, the two sides will discuss the relevant
    issues of the bilateral cooperation and the international agenda,
    the foreign policy coordination, the UN, OSCE, Black Sea Economic
    Cooperation Organization (BSEC) and other multilateral forums.

    "Fruitful cooperation has been established between Moscow and
    Yerevan on the main global and regional issues," said Russian Foreign
    Ministry. "The positions of the two countries are close or coincide
    on the majority of issues."

    "Hopefully, the visit of Armenian foreign minister to Russia will
    become an important event in further developing the bilateral foreign
    policy dialogue, promote the strengthening of the Russian-Armenian
    allied partnership," according to the remarks posted on the website
    of Russian Foreign Ministry.
