    [Presenter] Norwegian State Secretary Kim Traavik arrived in Azerbaijan
    today [31 August]. Answering journalists' questions about the Nagornyy
    Karabakh problem at [Baku's] Heydar Aliyev airport, Traavik confined
    himself to general phrases.

    [Correspondent over video of Traavik at airport] The Oslo government
    supports the talks between the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents for
    the peaceful settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh problem. Norwegian
    State Secretary Kim Traavik, who arrived in Baku on a visit today,
    voiced his hope that dialogue between the sides would help settle
    the conflict.

    The purpose of my visit to Azerbaijan is to discuss the regional
    issues and the Karabakh problem and learn prospects for cooperation
    in the oil sector and other economic spheres.

    [Correspondent] The diplomat said that Norway was closely watching
    the parliamentary polls which are due in Azerbaijan in autumn and
    stressed his country's support for fair and free polls.
