BAKU. May 21 (Interfax) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on
Monday arrived in Baku for a two-day visit.
He plans to discuss bilateral relations and the most pressing
international problems with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar
Mamedyarov.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is expected to receive him.
Earlier Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said that Russia
wants to expand energy cooperation with Azerbaijan.
"We believe there are quite promising prospects for expanding bilateral
cooperation not only in the fuel and energy sector, which is natural
for Russia and Azerbaijan, but also in spheres unrelated to oil,"
he said in an interview ahead of Lavrov's visit.
Kamynin said Lavrov will also discuss the settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict in Baku.
