/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia is interested in friendly relations with his
all neighbors, especially with those we have century-old friendship,
good-neighbor and cooperation relations with. And in this respect
there exists an interest for permanent cooperation and constructive
dialog, Chairman of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly
of the Russian Federation Sergey Mironov stated.

Speaking about Moscow-Baku relations, Mironov stated, `Azerbaijan is
our strategic partner in Caucasus and South Caucasus’. `We have a lot
in common, we have Caspian Sea, where not only Russia and Kazakhstan,
but also Turkmenistan and Iran must agree on. We have Caucasian
problems. We have a joint green wound-the Nagorno Karabakh problem,
since this wound hurts not only the Azeri nation, but also Russia. We
know unless the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is solved it will always be
a source of instability in Caucasus,’ Mironov stressed.

He said, Russia will be ready to accept any mutually acceptable
variants of solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. If you want
Russia to be a guarantee for these agreements we will do it with
pleasure. Here we have a very open stance,’ Mironov noted, `Trend’
reports.
