Ahmadinejad said Iran wants the soonest possible resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem. Cooperation between the two countries has
deep historic roots, and Iran is grateful to Azerbaijan for supporting
it in international organizations, which can be seen as an example of
true brotherhood, he said.

document stipulates that, within two weeks from its signature, the
parties have to start negotiations on selling gas to Iran for five
years, with the option of extending this contract. In line with the
second document, Azerbaijan will sell gas to Iran in winter 2010 so
that it be consumed in northern regions of that country.
