ZAVIDOVO, April 23 (Itar-Tass) – Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
has proposed his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan to discuss all
issues of cooperation between the two countries, including security
and the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.

Medvedev said, "Let’s discuss economic, political, humanitarian and
regional problems. Of course, let’s talk about Nagorno-Karabakh."

Sargsyan agreed with Medvedev. He noted that the countries maintained
cooperation in many fields. Among other priorities, he named security
cooperation. "We watch Russia’s efforts on a new European security
treaty," he said.

Medvedev said the dialogue between Russia and Armenia developed
intensively. Medvedev and Sargsyan met six times last year and they
met twice this year. "The oftener we’ll meet the easier we’ll solve
problems," the Russian president added.
