Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will meet with Armenian
President Robert Kocharian before he ends his visit to Yerevan on
Wednesday.
His visit to Armenia is timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary
of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
On Tuesday, Lavrov met with his Armenian counterpart Vartan Oskanian,
who highly assessed Russian-Armenian relations.
"We've discussed a wide range of bilateral relations and prospects
for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement," Oskanian said after
the talks.
He pointed out that Lavrov "made clear Russia's position on many
international problems, mainly in relation to Kosovo, Iran, the CIS
and OSCE reforms."
Lavrov hailed the high level of bilateral relations and effective
cooperation within the framework of international organizations.
"Russia plays an important and constructive role in settling the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Oskanian said. "We highly assess the
role and position of Russia that not only supports the two parties'
consent, but also is ready to be a guarantor of bilateral agreements."
Later in the day Lavrov will visit the Armenian Apostolic Church to
meet with Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II. He will
also meet with students and professors of the Yerevan State University.
The next leg of his visit will be Turkmenistan.
