    The cooperation between Russia and Azerbaijan within the regional
    international organizations is one of the key topics of the agenda
    of the visit by the Russian President Dmitri Medvedev to Baku on 3
    to 4 July. The visit of the Russian President to Azerbaijan will
    especially focus on the cooperation between the two countries on
    the international arena," Sergey Prikhodko, assistant to the Russian
    President said to ITAR-TASS.

    "Though Azerbaijan is not a member of the Collective Security
    Treaty Organization, but that of GUAM it does not affect our close
    cooperation on key international problems at all," Prikhodko said. "We
    regularly exchange opinions on the situation in the region and other
    issues. Ilham Aliyev supports maintaining CIS and its regular format,
    he said.

    The Presidents will consider the problems of the international legal
    status of the Caspian Sea, providing security of the Caspian Sea in
    line with the agreements reached during the second Caspian Summit
    in October 2007 in Tehran, assistant to the head of state said and
    added that the third Caspian Summit will be held in Baku at the end
    of summer.

    The talks between the leaders will focus on Iran's nuclear program
    as well. Moscow wants to learn how Azerbaijan assesses situation in
    the neighboring country given the fact that there is great number of
    Azerbaijanis living in Azerbaijan," Prikhodko said.

    The exchange of opinion on the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    will be carried out during the talks. "This issue was discussed during
    the meeting of the Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents in St Petersburg
    on 6 June on the results of the first meeting of the Armenian and
    Azerbaijani Presidents," Prikhodko said.

    " Russia is ready to look for the compromise variant of the
    settlement. The principal position of Russia on Karabakh is
    unchanged," he said. "The responsibility for the final choice of
    settlement formula lies on the shoulders of the Azerbaijanis and
    Armenians. Russia supports the settlement which suits all parties
    involved in the conflict.
