    AZERI LEADER SAYS CAUCASUS SITUATION "CAUSES CONCERN"

    Turan news agency
    Sept 16 2008
    Azerbaijan

    The Azerbaijani president has said that the situation in the Caucasus
    "causes concern" and that his country is ready to help improve it,
    Turan news agency reported.

    Azerbaijan is ready to make its contribution to normalizing the
    situation in the Caucasus which "causes concern", Turan quoted Ilham
    Aliyev, who was speaking at a meeting with Russian President Dmitriy
    Medvedev in Moscow on 16 September. All issues should be resolved
    through peaceful dialogue and on the basis of mutual respect,
    Aliyev added.

    In a separate report, Turan quoted Aliyev as saying that "Azerbaijan
    banks on Russia's active role in the settlement of the [Nagornyy]
    Karabakh conflict. Despite all difficulties, we think that today there
    are prerequisites for a settlement [of the conflict] which would
    meet the interests of all countries and would be based on norms of
    international law."

    Speaking about relations between his country and Russia, Aliyev noted
    that "mechanisms of effective cooperation should be sought and found",
    Turan said. "We very highly assess the level of relations with Russia,
    aspire to boost them, and will do everything on our part to achieve
    this goal."
