    ArmInfo. VTB has overcome all obstacles to its entry into the Azeri
    banking market, says the commercial representative of Russia in
    Azerbaijan Yuri Schedrin.

    He hopes that by the end of this year VTB will be permitted to buy
    the shares of an Azeri bank.

    Trend news agency reports that VTB is planning to buy a controlling
    stake in AF Bank. A source from the National Bank of Azerbaijan says
    that they are considering VTB's offer. They in VTB expect the deal
    to be made in the autumn.

    Earlier, RosFinCom agency (Moscow) reported with reference to
    the press service of VTB that the Supervisory Board of VTB Bank
    Armenia had decided to close its branch in Stepanakert, the capital
    of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. VTB has inherited the branch from
    ArmSavingsBank.

    RosFincom said that the existence of a branch in Stepanakert was
    problemaic due to the though attitude of the Azeri authorities
    towards companies having contacts with Nagorno-Karabakh. ArmInfo's
    correspondent has failed today to contact the press service and the
    management of VTB Bank Armenia for verifying this information.
