June 2 (APA) - Azerbaijan is planning to spend millions on the
construction of a "brotherhood" mosque" to symbolize the friendships
between Baku and Ankara, according to APA. Azerbaijani President
Aliyev is said to have come up with the idea.
June 2 (APA) - Azerbaijan's Permanent Mission to the UN organized a
series of informal discussions on the topic of "The peaceful settlement
of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution: mediation, judicial
settlement and justice".
In his speech, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov spoke
about conflict settlement, with a focus on the Karabakh issue. Azimov
described the conflict as one between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Armenia's Permanent Rep to the UN opposed this formulation and accused
Baku of hindering efforts at mediation to almost nothing.
Azimov countered by noting: "It is sufficient to note two of them.
Firstly, Armenian citizens serve in Azerbaijan's occupied territories
and the documents of captivated Armenian soldiers confirm this fact.
Secondly, President of the Republic of Armenian participates as a
conflict party in the negotiations on conflict settlement."
June 2 (News.az) - Azerbaijan's presidency of the UN Security Council
ended when Li Baodong, China's Permanent Rep to the UN, took over. The
Council presidency rotates among its members in alphabetical order
of their names. Each president holds office for one calendar month.
June 2 (News.az) - Azerbaijani MP Rasim Musabayov says that US
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might try to arrange a meeting
between the presidents of Armenian and Azerbaijan during her upcoming
visit to the region.
Musabayov says that the US administration has basically left this
task to the Russians, noting that President Obama is busy with other
international issues and Clinton herself will be leaving her post in
the near future.
The Azerbaijani MP cites the recent US State Department report on
Karabakh as additional evidence that the Americans formally recognize
"the fact of Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani territories."
June 1 (Trend) - Azerbaijan and Georgia will be submitting a bid to
UEFA to jointly host the Euro 2020 football competition.
The heads of the football federations of the two countries made the
announcement at a press conference in Tbilisi. The idea is said to
have been raised by Georgian President Saakashvili during a speech
he made at the Azerbaijani parliament earlier this year.
