Putin, Bush to discuss Garabagh conflict in Bratislava

US and Russian presidents George Bush and Vladimir Putin will discuss
ways of settling the Upper Garabagh conflict in Bratislava in
February, along with other issues, says US Assistant Secretary for
European and Eurasian Affairs Elizabeth Jones.
The two presidents will call for stepping up activity in the area of
resolving conflicts in the former Soviet Union countries, including
the Garabagh conflict, she said.
Jones also indicated that the Bush administration is concerned over
the lack of influence on part of Moscow in settling the conflict.
`We believe that Russia should be interested in the resolution of
conflicts over Upper Garabagh, North Ossetia, Abkhazia and Dnestr.’
