Presidents of Russia Dmitri Medvedev and Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will
discuss the problem of the Karabakh conflict settlement in Ulyanovsk
and attend the events on naming one of the city squares after Heydar
Aliyev, according to a source in the Kremlin.

During the meeting, the sides are expected to continue exchange of
views on urgent issues of international and regional agenda.

"These include the Karabakh conflict settlement mediated by Russia
as an OSCE Minsk Group’s co-chair", the source said.

Medvedev and Aliyev will also attend the ceremony of naming one of
the city squares after Heydar Aliyev.

a railway bridge support via the Volga river under Ulyanovsk. The
accident caused death to 176 people.

In July of 2008 a memorial to H.Aliyev was erected at the initiate
of the local representatives of the public organization "All-Russian
Congress of Azerbaijanis" in Zasviyazh region of Ulyanovsk and in
September of this year, the Ulyanovsk town building council decided
to name the square at which this memorial is erected after H.Aliyev.
