    AZERI DEPUTY SPEAKER, BRITISH BARONESS DISCUSSED TIES

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    Nov 30 2006

    Baku, 30 November: Valeh Alasgarov, deputy chairman of the Milli Maclis
    [Azerbaijani parliament], received Baroness O'Cathain, a member of
    the British House of Lords, today.

    The parliament's press service told APA that during the meeting
    Alasgarov said that Azerbaijan attached great importance to the
    development of relations with the UK, and reciprocal visits by state
    and government officials played a great role in the development
    of cooperation.

    Alasgarov briefed the guest on reforms being carried out in various
    spheres and democratic processes in Azerbaijan: "Political, economic
    and cultural cooperation between Azerbaijan and the UK is currently
    developing. BP is closely involved in oil and gas production and
    transport in our country. At the same time, British companies also
    show great interest in the non-oil sector in our country."

    Alasgarov said that the UK's support for Azerbaijan's territorial
    integrity in the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagornyy
    Karabakh conflict was highly assessed.

    Baroness O'Cathain said that Azerbaijan's authority in the region
    and international arena was growing day by day.
