    Baku's envoy in Moscow has welcomed the role of Russia as a Karabakh
    mediator at an event to mark the 20th anniversary of Azerbaijan's
    independence.

    The event, held at the Azerbaijani embassy in Russia, was attended
    by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigoriy Karasin, ambassadors, the
    Moscow representative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, representatives
    of the All-Russian Congress of Azerbaijanis and public figures.

    Addressing the event, Azerbaijan's ambassador to Russia, Polad
    Bulbuloglu, said that the country had developed rapidly during the
    20 years of independence. He stressed that the main problem facing
    the country was the liberation of Azerbaijani territories occupied
    by Armenia.

    The ambassador said that the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan
    and Russia had become a guarantor of stability in the region. He
    praised the efforts of Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev to settle
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict:

    "We do not lose hope for a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem, and we can see Russia's active work in tackling the problem
    within the framework of international law. We believe that the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be solved with the help of Russia."

    Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigoriy Karasin told the event that
    cooperation between Azerbaijan and Russia was rapidly developing in
    a number of fields.

    According to Karasin, Russia sees Azerbaijan as a reliable partner,
    able to conduct a broad constructive dialogue:

    "The mutual trust and respect existing between Presidents Ilham Aliyev
    and Dmitriy Medvedev stands at the basis of the cooperation between our
    countries. Our links provide a basis for strengthening the strategic
    partnership of neighbourliness and cooperation, and act as a factor
    of stability and security in the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea.

    And this meets the interests of our states and the desire of both
    peoples."
