    RUSSIA, AZERBAIJAN TO SIGN DEAL ON INCREASED GAS SUPPLIES

    Russian gas giant Gazprom and Azerbaijan's state oil and gas company
    will sign a deal to increase supplies of Azerbaijani gas to Russia
    in 2011-2012 during the Russian president's visit to Baku on Thursday.

    According to Ria Novosti Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said in mid-June
    that Gazprom is prepared to "buy as much gas as Azerbaijan is ready
    to deliver."

    "As part of the [Russian president's] visit, an additional agreement
    to the contract on increasing natural gas supplies in 2011-2012 will
    be signed," Russian presidential aide Sergei Prikhodko said.

    Azerbaijan's gas reaches Russia through its Baku-Novo-Filya gas
    pipeline along the Caspian Sea to the Russia's North Caucasus
    republics.

    A Kremlin source told RIA Novosti that Dmitry Medvedev and Ilham Aliev
    among other issues would also discuss military cooperation but did
    not elaborate on the issue. However, it was recently announced that
    Azerbaijan would buy four Russian Ka-32 helicopters, used in utility
    cargo work and fire-fighting.
