Armenia and Azerbaijan "can be expected" to hold another summit on
Nagorno-Karabakh after a planned "new round of preparatory work"
this autumn by the Minsk Group, an Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe body mediating in the conflict, the Russian
Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday.

Andrei Nesterenko made the announcement at a briefing.

The Armenian and Azeri presidents, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev,
held talks on Nagorno-Karabakh in Moscow on Saturday mediated by
their Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev.

"That meeting involved one more serious and in-depth discussion on the
contents of the basic principles for the settlement of conflicts that
are being developed by the mediators of the Minsk Group of the OSCE,"
Nesterenko said.

"There was certain progress achieved on some of them and the parties
moved closer their positions on the issues they were discussing,"
he said.

"New subjects began to be discussed," he added.
