Russian gas giant Gazprom and Azerbaijan's state oil and gas company
will sign a deal to increase supplies of Azerbaijani gas to Russia
in 2011-2012 during the Russian president's visit to Baku on Thursday.
According to Ria Novosti Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said in mid-June
that Gazprom is prepared to "buy as much gas as Azerbaijan is ready
to deliver."
"As part of the [Russian president's] visit, an additional agreement
to the contract on increasing natural gas supplies in 2011-2012 will
be signed," Russian presidential aide Sergei Prikhodko said.
Azerbaijan's gas reaches Russia through its Baku-Novo-Filya gas
pipeline along the Caspian Sea to the Russia's North Caucasus
republics.
A Kremlin source told RIA Novosti that Dmitry Medvedev and Ilham Aliev
among other issues would also discuss military cooperation but did
not elaborate on the issue. However, it was recently announced that
Azerbaijan would buy four Russian Ka-32 helicopters, used in utility
cargo work and fire-fighting.
