Medvedev will meet Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in the southern Russian city of Astrakhan.
On the eve of the talks, Armenia accused Azerbaijani forces of killing an ethnic Armenian soldier in Nagorno-Karabakh in a bid to disrupt peace talks.
In a statement, the Armenian Defense Ministry said a soldier with Karabakh’s defense forces was killed on October 26 after Azerbaijani forces opened fire along a cease-fire line.
The ministry condemned the shooting as “another step by Azerbaijan aimed at destabilizing the situation before the meeting of the presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia.”
