Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov met Tuesday in Baku with his
Azerbaijani counterpart Safar Abiyev to discuss prospects of military
cooperation, the situation in the region and Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement, 1news.az reported.

"The OSCE Minsk Group energies for resolution of the Karabakh
conflict don’t produce results, so talks should be intensified,"
Abiyev said, adding that "all efforts are directed for a peaceful
resolution of the conflict, otherwise the situation in the region
can become unpredictable."

Meanwhile, spokesman for the Armenian Defense Minister, colonel Seyran
Shahsuvaryan, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that a visit of Russian
Defense Minister to Armenia is not planned.
