/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Kremlin does not expect a breakthrough in NKR
conflict settlement after trilateral meeting of Russian, Azeri and
Armenian Presidents, due today in St. Petersburg. Still, we intend to
use this possibility to strengthen direct dialogue between interested
parties, RF President’s Assistant, Sergey Prikhodko stated.

"First, Azeri and RA President will have a meeting to discuss NKR
conflict settlement, followed by separate meetings of Dmitri Medvedev
with Ilham Aliev and Serzh Sargsyan. In the evening, RF President
will invite his colleagues to formal dinner to hold a trilateral
discussion."

"We do not expect to make a significant breakthrough or achieve any
new agreements. We’re striving to support direct communication between
RA and Azeri Presidents," ITAR -TASS cited Prikhodko as saying.

Medvedev-Sargsyan meeting will focus on further development of trade
and economic collaboration, including overcoming financial crisis
consequences, RF President’s assistant noted.
