Russia hopes for a resumption of direct contacts between the leaders
of Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh and intends to render
any assistance in resolving this conflict, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov said today after a meeting with his Armenian counterpart.

“We hope that in the near future direct contacts between the leaders
of Armenia and Azerbaijan will be resumed, and we will do our best
to help, as I have said, creating the necessary atmosphere for the
settlement of the conflict on a particular basis of the earlier reached
agreements acceptable to the parties”, RIA Novosti reports quoting him.
