    Nagorno-Karabakh among main issues of Russia-Armenia talks

    By Natalia Simorova, Natalia Krainova

    MOSCOW

    One of the main issues Russian and Armenian Foreign Ministers Sergei
    Lavrov and Vardan Oskanyan will discuss during their talks in Moscow
    will be the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the Russian Foreign Ministry's
    spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said on Saturday in connection with the
    planned visit by the Armenian foreign minister to Moscow due from
    July 5-7.

    Russia is ready to render assistance in the conflict settlement
    process and be a guarantor for an agreement acceptable for the
    parties.

    The parties themselves should find a compromise solution to the
    problem, the diplomat noted.

    The talks will also focus on cooperation between the two countries
    within the CIS, the Organisation of the Treaty on Collective Security
    and the EURASEC and coordination of efforts of the foreign ministries
    to improve the situation in the Caucasian region.

    Among the priority subjects will be also trade and economic, cultural
    and humanitarian cooperation.

    Moscow and Yerevan are determined to take purposeful and necessary
    moves on the bilateral and multilateral basis in fight against
    terrorism, Yakovenko said.

    Efficient practical cooperation between law-enforcement structures
    and security services supports political cooperation in the area.

    The visit by the Armenian foreign minister will give an additional
    impetus to Russian-Armenian relations that have a durable legal
    basis, the Russian diplomat noted.

    Oskanyan is also planned to meet with Chairman of the State Duma's
    Committee on CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots Andrei
    Kokoshin.
