    AZERBAIJAN: MILITARY AGREEMENT MUST NOT AFFECT KARABAKH CONFLICT

    Today

    Azerbaijan

    Azerbaijan hopes that the recently renewed leasing agreement between
    Russia and Armenia on the Gumri military base will not negatively
    impact the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

    "Official Russian circles argue that the treaty signed in Armenia will
    not adversely affect the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,"
    ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) Deputy Chairman, Executive Secretary
    Ali Ahmadov told journalists today.

    Russia and Armenia recently signed a protocol amending a 1995 bilateral
    agreement on the Russian military base in Gumri, extending the lease
    by 24 years, RIA Novosti reported. The document was undersigned by
    the Armenian and Russian defense ministers.

    The Azerbaijani government hopes to discuss the agreement with
    President Dmitry Medvedev during his upcoming visit to the country
    in September, Ahmadov said.
