    According to the Azeri newspaper 525 Gazeta.Baku, President of
    Azerbaijan Ilham Aliev went on an official visit to Germany and met
    with German President Horst Kohler. President Kohler thinks that
    official Berlin supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and
    that this position is unwavering. Kohler highly assessed the first
    official visit of Aliev to Germany, stressed that the visit has
    positively influenced cooperation of the two countries, including
    further development of the economic ties.

    For his part, Aliev talked about the necessity to start attempts
    to strengthen bilateral relations. The issues regarding cooperation
    between Azerbaijan and Germany within the framework of international
    organizations, integration of Azerbaijan into the European structures,
    strengthening of activities of German companies in Azerbaijan and
    others were discussed at the meeting.

    Attention to the issue of the Armenian-Azeri conflict was
    significant. Kohler said that Germany always supported the territorial
    integrity of Azerbaijan and that the country always will follow
    this standpoint. According to him, Germany as a member of OSCE will
    strengthen its attempt to settle this problem. Aliev also highly
    assessed Germany's standpoint and thanked President Kohler. Aliev
    also invited Kohler for an official visit to his country and the
    invitation was accepted.

    Aliev also met with Chancellor Gerhard Schroder. According to the
    results of the negotiations, two documents were signed: an agreement
    regarding the avoidance of dual taxation and the purchase of 4 Airbus
    A319's by Azerbaijan. The chancellor also confirmed the standpoint
    of Germany regarding the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

    As Schroder said, Germany and European Union are interested in
    cooperation with Azerbaijan and Germany supports the integration of
    Azerbaijan into European structures in every possible way. Aliev also
    noted that Azerbaijan considers the development of relations with
    Germany as an important element in cooperation with the European
    Union. As for the Karabakh conflict, Aliev stated that after the
    withdrawal of Armenian occupying forces from the Azeri territory,
    a peaceful agreement can be signed and relations can be normalized
    between two countries as well.
