    [October 16, 2005, 23:22:04]

    Baku, 16 October (AzerTAj). Paying an official visit to Egypt Foreign
    Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov met here with his
    counterpart Ahmad Abu Al-Jeit on October 15. The parties discussed
    ways of enhancing Azerbaijan-Egypt cooperation in political and
    economic fields as well as within international organizations, and
    exchanged views on the situation in the Middle East and international
    security issues.

    The Egyptian Minister said touching on the Armenia-Azerbaijan
    conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, he supported the efforts by the OSCE
    Minsk group, as well as the talks between the leaders and foreign
    ministers of the conflicting states aiming at peaceful settlement of
    the problem. He expressed hope it would be settled soon in the
    framework of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Both Ministers
    pointed out that the economic relations between Azerbaijan and Egypt
    were not on a due level and stressed the importance of expanding
    trade and economic cooperation between the two countries. They
    welcomed the idea of opening the flight Baku - Sharm El Sheik- Cairo
    that, according to them, would increase the tourist flows between the
    countries, and intensify direct contacts among businessmen.

    large-scale projects in Azerbaijan including the construction of the
    Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipelines,
    Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway as well as TRACECA, Foreign Minister Elmar
    Mammadyarov expressed his wish that Egypt joined the latter in an
    observer capacity.

    Following the meeting, the two Ministers gave a press conference.

    of the National Assembly of Egypt Ahmad Fathi Surur, and made a
    speech at the Egyptian Foreign Ministry's Foreign Affairs Council.
