BAKU, February 28. /TASS/. Russia has confirmed its readiness to host trilateral talks between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia at the level of foreign ministers, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said following talks with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov.

"We confirmed our readiness to provide an opportunity to continue such meetings," he said at a news conference on Tuesday.

The Russian top diplomat specified that the Azerbaijani side expressed its readiness to hold a new meeting in such a format. "The Armenian side said it had no objection either, but has not yet given its final consent," Lavrov added.
