Some media report that a trilateral meeting between the Presidents of
Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan is expected in Moscow later this month.

Asked to comment on the information, Armenian President’s Spokesman
Samvel Farmanyan said:

"As a Minsk Group Co-Chair country, Russia makes serious efforts
to solve the Karabakh issue and Armenia highly appreciates
these endeavors. Thanks to the efforts of the President of the
Russian Federation, there have been two meetings in the trilateral
Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan format. It’s natural that the Presidents of
Armenia and Azerbaijan can meet both separately and in other formats
unless the Karabakh conflict is solved. There is nothing extraordinary
here. On the contrary, it would be strange if such meetings did not
take place.

Before that, on January 18 President Serzh Sargsyan and Mrs. Rita
Sargsyan will leave for Moscow on a working visit at the invitation of
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The leaders of the two countries
will continue the high-level political dialogue and discuss issues
related to different spheres of cooperation between the two strategic
partners. The issue of holding a trilateral meeting between the
Presidents of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan may also be discussed.

President’s Spokesman Samvel Farmanyan added also that the revised
version of the Madrid Principles on the settlement of the Karabakh
conflict has not been presented to official Yerevan yet.
