    Vatican City, Mar 4, 2008 / 10:37 am (CNA).- Despite no sign of
    negotiations emerging in the Armenian post-election dispute, Cardinal
    Tarcisio Bertone, Vatican Secretary of State, left this morning for
    the former Soviet country after delaying his departure by two days.

    The cardinal's itinerary will be altered to accommodate his shorter
    stay, but everything is on track for his March 6-9 visit to Azerbaijan.

    During his stay in the neighboring country, Cardinal Bertone will
    meet Sheikh Allashukur Pashazade, head of Muslims in the Caucasus,
    and other religious leaders, to tell them of the Catholic Church's
    desire to collaborate in the joint commitment to peace, harmony
    between peoples and the good of the human family.

    In Baku, Azerbaijan's capital city, "Cardinal Bertone will attend
    the inauguration of a new Catholic church built on land donated to
    Servant of God John Paul II by President Heydar Aliyev, father of
    the current head of State," the Vatican's press office reports.
