    RUSSIAN, AZERBAIJANI PRESIDENTS TO TALK COOPERATION

    RIA Novosti
    November 24
    Moscow

    Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham
    Aliyev will discuss bilateral cooperation and the Nagorny Karabakh
    settlement at a meeting in Ulyanovsk in the Volga Region on Tuesday.

    Aliyev will pay a working visit to Russia on an invitation from
    Medvedev.

    "The meeting between Dmitry Medvedev and Ilham Aliyev will become a
    continuation of the rich Russian-Azerbaijani political dialogue. This
    year, the heads of state have repeatedly met in various formats,"
    a Kremlin source said prior to the meeting.

    Russian-Azerbaijani trade and economic relations have been developing
    successfully, with trade in the first nine months of 2009 reaching
    $1.26 billion, and Russian exports exceeding $1 billion.

    The source said Aliyev's visit to Russia in April and Medvedev's
    visit to Azerbaijan in June were important.

    Nagorny Karabakh, a region in Azerbaijan with a largely Armenian
    population, has been a source of conflict between the former Soviet
    republics since the late 1980s. The mountainous province has its own
    government and is de facto independent.

    Medvedev and Aliyev are also expected to discuss energy issues.
