`The efforts of Moscow and Yerevan aim to set stability in
Transcaucasia,’ ITAR-TASS quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov who said this at a meeting with his Armenian counterpart
Vardan Oskanian on 5 December.

`Not only bilateral relations are developing, but also relations on
joint efforts to stabilize the situation in the region,’ Lavrov said.

`It is not the first time we have met this year. When try to meet so
that agreements concluded between our Presidents get implemented. I
hope, today’s meeting will have the same course,’ the Russian Foreign
Minister said.

`The agenda is very vague. But the sides do not have problematic
tasks. The key task is to deepen relations,’ Oskanian said. He voiced
his hope that the Moscow meeting will be useful in terms of
discussion both for global problems and important regional issues.
