The presidents are also expected to discuss Iran's nuclear program, Afghanistan and the international situation.

Dmitriy Medvedev has been trying to mediate a solution to the Karabakh conflict, holding several meetings between the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in the past two years. After the most recent meeting in Kazan on 25 June failed to produce a breakthrough in the talks, the Russian leader had a one-to-one meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Sochi.

Details of the meeting have not been made public, but some commentators say that Russia is proposing to send its own peacekeepers to Karabakh.
