President Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia has credited Russia with major
mediating efforts in the Armenian-Azeri conflict over Azerbaijan's
disputed Armenian-speaking enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh and with having
"always played an important role in the Caucasus."
"I would like to thank you for your efforts. Russia has always
played an important role in the Caucasus. I hope that your efforts
will finish soon and produce positive results," Sargsyan said at a
meeting at the Kremlin with his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev.
"Armenia seeks peace and stability in the Caucasus, and this is what
determines its efforts to find a peaceful and long-term solution to
the Nagorno-Karabakh problem," Sargsyan said.
He and Medvedev argued that their countries have a special
relationship.
Medvedev said his frequent meetings with Sargsyan enabled the two
leaders to "compare their positions on bilateral issues and on
regional problems, talk about the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process,
and set guidelines for the future."
Sargsyan mentioned that the two nations reached a series of agreements
during a visit by Medvedev to Armenia in August. "We decided then
that we would meet at the end of autumn and sum up the work done in
implementing those agreements," Sargsyan said.
