    The head of the Azerbaijani-Iranian inter-parliamentary friendship
    group, Seyyid Kazim Mousavi, met Milli Majlis Chairman Ogtay Asadov
    yesterday.

    Mousavi told Ogtay Asadov, 'We will have several meetings to discuss
    how to expand relations between the two countries' legislative bodies.'

    On the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Mousavi said his country thought the
    dispute should be settled on the basis of Azerbaijan's territorial
    integrity. 'We consider that regional countries are capable of
    resolving the conflict without any external interference,' he said.

    Asadov said reciprocal visits helped to 'boost our neighbourly and
    friendly relationship'.

    He also stressed the role of the two countries' leaders in the
    development of bilateral cooperation. Asadov said that more than 90
    documents signed during the presidents' visits had created the legal
    basis to strengthen bilateral cooperation.

    Touching upon inter-parliamentary ties, Asadov recalled his recent
    visit to Iran, and stressed the importance of the meetings held there.

    Azerbaijan is keen on cooperation with Iran, and praises Tehran's
    efforts to contribute to settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the
    Speaker said. He also thanked the Iranian government for supporting
    Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.

    Seyyid Kazim Mousavi, in turn, said his country attached importance
    to enhancing cooperation with Azerbaijan in the political, economic,
    humanitarian, cultural and education spheres.

    On the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he said Iran unswervingly backed
    Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, and thought that the dispute
    should be settled peacefully.

    Present at the meeting were the head of the Milli Majlis
    administration, Safa Mirzayev, the head of the working group on
    Iranian-Azerbaijani inter-parliamentary ties, Eldar Ibrahimov, and
    the Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan, Mohammad Baqer Bahrami.
