    AZERBAIJANI PRESS REVIEW: AZERBAIJANI-TURKEY "BROTHERHOOD MOSQUE"

    June 2 (APA) - Azerbaijan is planning to spend millions on the
    construction of a "brotherhood" mosque" to symbolize the friendships
    between Baku and Ankara, according to APA. Azerbaijani President
    Aliyev is said to have come up with the idea.

    June 2 (APA) - Azerbaijan's Permanent Mission to the UN organized a
    series of informal discussions on the topic of "The peaceful settlement
    of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution: mediation, judicial
    settlement and justice".

    In his speech, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov spoke
    about conflict settlement, with a focus on the Karabakh issue. Azimov
    described the conflict as one between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

    Armenia's Permanent Rep to the UN opposed this formulation and accused
    Baku of hindering efforts at mediation to almost nothing.

    Azimov countered by noting: "It is sufficient to note two of them.

    Firstly, Armenian citizens serve in Azerbaijan's occupied territories
    and the documents of captivated Armenian soldiers confirm this fact.

    Secondly, President of the Republic of Armenian participates as a
    conflict party in the negotiations on conflict settlement."

    June 2 (News.az) - Azerbaijan's presidency of the UN Security Council
    ended when Li Baodong, China's Permanent Rep to the UN, took over. The
    Council presidency rotates among its members in alphabetical order
    of their names. Each president holds office for one calendar month.

    June 2 (News.az) - Azerbaijani MP Rasim Musabayov says that US
    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might try to arrange a meeting
    between the presidents of Armenian and Azerbaijan during her upcoming
    visit to the region.

    Musabayov says that the US administration has basically left this
    task to the Russians, noting that President Obama is busy with other
    international issues and Clinton herself will be leaving her post in
    the near future.

    The Azerbaijani MP cites the recent US State Department report on
    Karabakh as additional evidence that the Americans formally recognize
    "the fact of Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani territories."

    June 1 (Trend) - Azerbaijan and Georgia will be submitting a bid to
    UEFA to jointly host the Euro 2020 football competition.

    The heads of the football federations of the two countries made the
    announcement at a press conference in Tbilisi. The idea is said to
    have been raised by Georgian President Saakashvili during a speech
    he made at the Azerbaijani parliament earlier this year.
