The clarification of the press speaker of the RA president Samvel
Farmanyan to Lragir.am

Today, several media means spread the information that in January in
the context of the Karabakh issue settlement a meeting between the
Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani presidents is possible. Does it
correspond to the reality? Samvel Farmanyan answered that Russia as
one of the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs makes serious efforts for the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue and Armenia highly assesses
these efforts. Such a trilateral meeting has already taken place
three times. Since the conflict is not solved, such meetings are
always possible. There is nothing strange.

By that time, the president Sargsyan with his wife Rita Sargsyan on
January 18 will leave for Moscow at the invitation of the Russian
president Dmitri Medvedev where the heads of both countries will
continue political dialogue, they will discuss issues relating to our
strategic partnership, the region etc. During the visit to Moscow,
a possible meeting between the Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani
president may be also discussed.

There is information that the renewed version of the principles of
Madrid has already been presented to the official Yerevan. Is it true?

No, it is not.
