Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has completed a one-day working
visit to Russia.
He held wide-ranging talks his Russian counterpart, Dmitriy Medvedev,
in Sochi on Tuesday.
They exchanged views on key issues in Russian-Azerbaijani relations
and regional affairs, including the current state of resolution of
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, according
to the Russian president's website.
They discussed matters arising from Dmitriy Medvedev's visit to Baku in
September 2010, including the implementation of agreements on trade,
energy, investments and banking, the legal status of the Caspian Sea
and humanitarian issues.
At the start of the talks, Ilham Aliyev thanked Dmitriy Medvedev
for his personal role in the Karabakh peace process: "I would
like to express my gratitude once more for efforts to settle the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In Azerbaijan we value very highly your
personal involvement in the process. The rounds of talks have brought
the positions of the sides closer."
Dmitriy Medvedev has hosted nine meetings of the Azerbaijani and
Armenian presidents to discuss resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
The last meeting in Kazan in June ended without significant progress
being made.
He will meet Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on 12 and 13 August
