The Azerbaijani and Russian Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Dmitry Medvedev discuss expanding the bilateral relations, the problems with Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, as well as international issues, with emphasis on world economic problems, RIA Novosti reported.
"Of course, one of the most important topics is the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement," President Medvedev said at a meeting with President Aliyev. "I would like to conduct a sincere conversation what to do and how the events will develop in the light of the last trilateral Kazan meeting and all the previous meetings."
The Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents regularly meet during the trilateral talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement with the Armenian President.
The last meeting was held in Kazan on June 24.

The Russian President stressed that much has been recently done in developing the bilateral relations.
"I mean signing the agreements that define the cooperation for the coming years," President Medvedev said.
Medvedev said that good weather in Sochi accompanies the talks.
The Azerbaijani President thanked his Russian counterpart for the invitation to visit Russia. He stressed that there is positive dynamics in all areas of bilateral cooperation, including the sphere of economic and humanitarian cooperation, energy security. President Aliyev thanked Russian counterpart for the efforts made by Russia on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the main problem of regional security," he said. "Azerbaijan may be more interested in the conflict settlement than others."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
