"Russia has been actively contributing to the soonest settlement
of the conflict, which is only possible through political means,"
said Russian President Vladimir Putin in the course of his meeting
with Azerbnaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku overnight. Russian
President Vladimir Putin paid a one-day working visit to Baku.
"During the talks we touched upon urgent international issues,
including, of course, the Nagorno-Karabakh issue," Putin said in a
final press conference.
Aliyev said the conflict may only be solved on the basis of
international law.
The two presidents touched upon delimitation in the Caspian Sea. Putin
said Moscow and Baku are interested in resolution of the issues of the
countries in the Caspian region. "There are many unsettled problems:
border delimitation, bio-resources and others. We are extremely
interested that all these issues are settled within the interests of
all the countries of the Caspian Sea," he said.
The Russian and Azerbaijani state oil companies on Tuesday agreed to
establish a joint venture on a parity basis to prospect and produce
oil and gas in Russia and Azerbaijan and in other countries as Russian
President Vladimir Putin paid a one-day working visit to Baku.
Rosneft reported that it had also agreed with the State Oil Company
of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) to jointly use some pipelines and
terminals to optimize supplies to consumers. A cooperation agreement
was signed by Rosneft and SOCAR respective chiefs, Igor Sechin and
Rovnag Abdullayev, in the presence of Putin and Azerbaijani leader
Ilham Aliyev. The two oil giants also said they would cooperate in
marketing and sales of oil, gas and oil products.
Rosneft has shown interest in joining the development of the Apsheron
gas field in the Caspian Sea, whereas Russia's largest privately
held oil company, LUKoil, is participating in the development of
the Shah Deniz gas field in the Caspian Sea and owns a network
of gasoline-filling stations in Azerbaijan. The two countries'
emergencies ministries signed a cooperation plan for 2013-2015,
and a new program to train Azerbaijani emergencies staff will soon
be worked out, a Russian ministry spokeswoman said.
The Russian delegation comprised Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov,
Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu, Energy Minister Alexander Novak,
Emergency Situations Minister Aleksey Ulyukayev, as well as Director
general of Rosoboronexport Anatoly Isaykin, Head of the Russian
Delegation at multilateral negotiations on the Caspian Sea Igor
Bratchikov, LUKoil CEO Vagit Alekperov and Rosneft Chief Sechin.
