Foreign Minister Lavrov: I have just concluded a meeting with
President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, to whom on behalf
of the Russian President I handed the proposals formulated by Dmitry
Medvedev following discussions at the Kazan summit on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. These proposals are accompanied
by a personal message from the Russian President to the President of
the Republic of Armenia.
I am also heading to Baku today, where I will hand a similar message
from Dmitry Medvedev to the leadership of Azerbaijan.
The head of Armenia has confirmed his high appreciation of the actions
of the Minsk Group Co-Chairs and the personal efforts of the President
of Russia, and his keenness on achieving real progress towards a
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as expeditiously as
possible. President Sargsyan said that he would study President
Medvedev’s message and proposals most carefully and prepare an answer
in the near future.
