    President Aliyev satisfied with development of relations with Russia

    President Ilham Aliyev received Viktor Chernomyrdin, Russian
    Ambassador to the Ukraine, former Prime Minister of Russia on
    Thursday.

    President Aliyev said he attaches a particular importance to
    strengthening the ties with Russia and stressed the dynamics of
    developing relations between Azerbaijan and Russia, which are
    strategic partners. Chernomyrdin, in turn, voiced a hope for the
    strengthening of the Russo-Azeri ties.

    Although the purpose of the unexpected visit by Chernomyrdin, who is
    one of Russia's gas tycoons, to Baku is not officially disclosed,
    political observers relate this to the issue of the construction of
    an Iranian gas pipeline transporting gas to Europe through
    Azerbaijan. Russia, which opposes Iranian gas exports to Europe, has
    managed to hinder the construction of a pipeline transporting gas via
    Armenia.
