Russia's defense minister refused to rule out Tuesday the possibility that peacekeepers from the country could be involved in efforts to resolve a long-standing conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Sergei Ivanov, who is also a deputy prime minister, said: "Above all, political and diplomatic efforts have to be made to resolve the conflict, after which it will be possible to speak about a peacemaking operation, including [...] a role for the Russian Armed Forces".
[...]
Ivanov is on a three-day working visit in Azerbaijan to discuss military-technical cooperation with Azerbaijan's leaders, and to make a tour of a radar station leased by the Russian Armed Forces.
