YEREVAN, APRIL 7, ARMENPRESS: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in Baku to discuss issues related to the trilateral "political, security, transport, fight against terrorism” cooperation with his counterparts from Iran and Azerbaijan.
As "Armenpress" reports, citing the APA, during the meeting with the Azerbaijani President the Russian Foreign Minister also discussed the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement issue.
“We, on the levels of Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministries, and Defense Ministries have done all necessary things to help the sides reach a ceasefire agreement. We are ready to assist the maintenance of the ceasefire. It is necessary, by easing the situation of that concrete issue, to actively work towards political settlement.
We have proposals, which we are trying to apply with the Co-Chairs, in the interest of reaching an agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
I hope that we will be able to pay attention to this issue mid-term and long-term, and will talk about it today and tomorrow.
We fully support the principles which are currently undertaken by the Co-Chairs. They visited Baku, tomorrow they will be in the line of contact, the next day – in Yerevan. With the help of OSCE and the International Red Cross Committee it is very important to adopt any trust measures and create prerequisites for resuming the political process”, APA informed Lavrov saying.
