The three-party summit is likely to take place on July 18, Prikhodko
said.
Given a positive impetus the settlement received in the recent
three-party meetings, Armenia and Azerbaijan have requested such
efforts be continued, he said.
"Russia’s efforts have been supported by Armenia and Azerbaijan,
and also by our other partners," he said. Moscow highly values the
open approach, chosen by the Armenian and Azeri leaders, he added.
"We are guided by the belief that the problem of Nagorno Karabakh
can be settled in the foreseeable future," the Kremlin aide said.
Prikhodko noted, however, that no documents were expected to be
adopted at the three-party summit.
"A difficult process of forging decisions, acceptable for Armenia
and Azerbaijan, is underway," he said.
