Japanese Prime Minister to travel to Russia April 28, 2013 - 16:32 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will pay an official visit to Russia on April 28-30 on an invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin. This will be the first visit by a Japanese premier to Russia over the last 10 years, RIA Novosti reported. The Kremlin earlier reported that Russian-Japanese top-level talks would be held on Monday. The sides plan to discuss trade, economic, investment, energy, humanitarian, scientific and technological cooperation, sign a number of bilateral documents and discuss international issues, including the situation on the Korean Peninsula. One of the key problems in bilateral relations is the issue of the Kuril Islands. The row over the islands - which Russia calls the Southern Kurils and Japan calls the Northern Territories - has prevented Tokyo and Moscow from signing a permanent peace treaty following the end of World War II and remains a major stumbling block in the development of bilateral relations.   Top stories Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive.
