    Azerbaijan president to visit Iran soon


    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev will reportedly pay an official
    visit to the Islamic Republic by the end of the current year.


    ""Officials of the two countries are making preparations for the
    visit,"" said Nasser Hamidi Zare, Iran's ambassador to Azerbaijan,
    without mentioning a date for the visit.

    ""During his visit to Azerbaijan in August last year, Ahmadinejad
    invited his counterpart Ilham Aliyev to visit Iran and Aliyev accepted
    the invitation,"" he continued.

    The Iranian official added that several documents on cooperation
    between the two neighboring countries are expected to be signed during
    Aliyev's upcoming visit.

    Iran was one of the first countries to establish full diplomatic
    relations with Baku after Azerbaijan claimed independence from the
    former Soviet Union in 1991.

    Aliyev was re-elected as Azerbaijan's president last week; earlier
    this week he was congratulated over his victory by Iranian President
    Mahmud Ahmadinejad. (Source: Press TV)
