    ACHIEVEMENTS
    PRESIDENT OF THE AZERBAIJAN REPUBLIC ILHAM ALIYEV RECEIVES US
    PRESIDENT'S SPECIAL ADVISOR ON CASPIAN ENERGY DIPLOMACY
    [June 01, 2004, 21:58:27]

    President of the Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev received the US
    President's special advisor on Caspian energy diplomacy, ambassador
    Steven Mann, on 1 June.

    Noting that the Conference-Exhibition starting today in Baku has been
    conducted for 11 years, President Ilham Aliyev assessed the event as
    a notable success. Today, the participants of the Exhibition total
    340. Traditional events usually attract less interest. But interest in
    the Exhibition-Conference, on the contrary, rises year by year. Of
    course, this is connected with the significant and large-scale
    projects. Azerbaijan is attractive for the foreign companies,
    investors, and service firms.

    President Ilham Aliyev further said: "First of all, I would like to
    ask you to convey my gratitude to the US President for kind letter.
    You presented it this morning. It is important and is a strong impetus
    for our relations. I am rather pleased with it. I am convinced that
    our cooperation in energy and other fields will successfully continue
    in the coming years".

    Expressing his gratitude to Azerbaijan president for warm words, Mr.
    Steven Mann appraised the today's Exhibition-Conference as a landmark
    event. In this oil-gas fair you have displayed your accomplishments
    gained during the passed 11 years. I present the letter of President
    Bush to You with a feeling of pride. In this letter, he expresses his
    congratulations and personal greetings to You. My country is pleased
    with cooperation in energy field and we have reached great success
    in this direction. Next year, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline
    will be put into operation. Today's arrangement clearly demonstrated
    that Azerbaijan is a very attractive country for the energy companies
    and other investors. Today, Your Country's cooperation with the US
    ambassador Reno Harnish and other investors is high level".

    The achievements gained in the oil and gas field are common
    success of Azerbaijan and the United States, President Ilham Aliyev
    emphasized. "Successful realization of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan MEP
    became possible due to strong support by the United States, and You,
    Mr. Ambassador, have made your own contributions to these successes.
    I am eyewitness of your efforts in this direction and would like once
    again to stress that these are our common successes. I am confident
    that these successes will continue in the coming years as well.

    In the course of meeting, stating that Ambassador Steven Mann has
    another important mission - he is the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk
    Group for settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorny Karabakh
    conflict, President Ilham Aliyev had comprehensive exchange of views
    on resolution to the problem.

    Ambassador of the United States to Azerbaijan Reno Harnish attended
    the reception.
