The upcoming talks will be Lavrov's second face-to-face meeting with the new Armenian foreign minister over the past month. Their previous negotiations took place on November 21 during the visit of the Russian interdepartmental delegation to Yerevan.
The ministers are expected to discuss international and regional issues, as well as the entire range of bilateral ties. However, the key topic of the talks will be the implementation of the statement by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia on Nagorno-Karabakh from November 9.
