    Azerbaijan Artur Rasizade, May 31.

    The Governor concrete offers on expanding ties with Azerbaijan in
    the spheres of ships building and repair, transport, production of
    bio-resources in the Caspian, trade of vegetables and fruits. The
    North Caucasus Shipping Company is ready to open ferry connection

    goods from Azerbaijan to all destinations in Russia, he said.
