Medvedev to mediate Aliyev-Sarkisian talks: report
The next meeting to bring together Azerbaijani and Armenian
presidents to discuss the Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict will be
hosted by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, according to Kremlin
sources as reported in Russia`s Kommersant newspaper.
Reports say Medvedev is expected to first meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. One of the key issues on the agenda is Aliyev`s possible meeting with Armenian leader Serzh Sarkisian. The two will also discuss Turkey`s recent proposal to set up a five-nation union, called the Caucasus Peace and Cooperation Platform, the report said.
If the presidential meeting takes place, it will be held without the participation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen who have been brokering the peace process, Kommersant said.
Azerbaijani and Russian Foreign Ministers, Elmar Mammadyarov and Sergei Lavrov, discussed the Garabagh conflict during a meeting in Moscow on Sunday. Lavrov said his country backs Azerbaijan`s territorial integrity, in accord with previous agreements, including a document signed between the two presidents in early July.
