The President noted that the authorities in Azerbaijan are positively resolved to help find a solution to the long-running and complicated dispute over Nagorny Karabakh.

Mr Putin and Mr Kocharian also discussed the situation in Georgia. Russia is prepared to work with whomever the Georgian people elect to lead them.

Russia hopes that the law in Georgia will be observed in order to give these processes legitimacy.
