of the Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict in mid-July in Moscow. The
meeting will take place on the sidelines of an informal CIS summit
during a horse race for the Russian president`s prize, the Russian
Ambassador in Baku Vladimir Dorokhin told reporters.
The race will be held July 18 at the Central Horse Racing Track in Moscow. Such races have been held annually in various Russian cities since 2004.
Presidents Aliyev and Sarkisian have held five meetings so far. The most recent meeting took place in St. Petersburg, Russia on June 4 on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov says Baku expects progress during the presidents` Moscow meeting.
"We hope to achieve certain progress in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict settlement in the Moscow meeting with the assistance of the [mediating] OSCE Minsk Group, but it will also depend on the Armenian leadership," Mammadyarov told journalists in Ganja.
He said the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group seeking a settlement of the Garabagh conflict are scheduled to visit the region July 8-10 to set the stage for the Moscow round of presidential talks.
