/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I think that we will – in fact, I’m sure we will
touch on the Nagorno Karabakh issue. Especially since most of the
G8 countries are involved in attempts to find a solution to that
conflict," Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at a briefing
yesterday. "President Chirac is very closely involved in those efforts,
President Bush as well, and others also. We would very much like
to see Armenia and Azerbaijan find a mutually acceptable solution.

Insofar as the Russian Federation is concerned, I can stress once
again our position, which consists in not imposing any solution
either on the Azerbaijani side or the Armenian side. The nations,
those two nations, must reach a compromise themselves. But of course
the Russian Federation and other G8 countries as well are prepared
to act as guarantors when it comes to the implementation of whatever
agreement is reached," the Russian President said.
