He sends you his warmest greetings," Lavrov said during a meeting with Aliyev in the Azerbaijani leader's residence. Lavrov stressed that Moscow remained committed to the implementation of all agreements it reached with Baku and noted that Russia, as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, was interested in seeking a resolution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
