    cultural heritage, will arrive in Baku. According to Baku office of
    the Council of Europe, the British parliamentarian will examine the
    state of monuments in Azerbaijan and will head for Yerevan May 31.

    Azerbaijan came from CE secretary general Terry Davis after the
    destruction of Armenian monuments in Nakhijevan late last year. The
    aim of the delegation is to examine historic and cultural monuments
    in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.

    in Nagorno Karabakh issue will visit Baku and Yerevan next week to
    discuss prospect of Nagorno Karabakh regulation, day.az quoted Pyotr
    Burdikin, Russian charge' d'affaires in Azerbaijan, as saying.

    In Russian diplomat's words, currently the OSCE Minsk Group is
    working on the soonest regulation of Karabakh issue. As to the visit
    of European delegation Burdikin thinks that "often involvement of
    new people helps reveal new approaches." Pyotr Burdikin thinks that
    progress in the issue is well possible but no one can be sure about
    the future owing to conflict's complex nature.

    for European and Eurasian affairs Daniel Fried and French Foreign
    Ministry political director Stanislas de Laboulaye. Besides discussing
