    POOR LAVROV, BAKU DID NOT APPRECIATE HIM

    Russia's president Putin's visit to Baku was "marked" by a word of
    insult. While announcing the name of the foreign minister of Russia
    Sergey Lavrov during the signing of agreements the "host" uttered a
    word of insult.

    Apparently, it was a slip of the tongue because Baku would hardly
    be dissatisfied with Lavrov and Russia. Recently the interests of
    Russia and Azerbaijan have been in line and they have entered into
    close defense cooperation, particularly in regard to the European
    integration of Armenia and Karabakh settlement.

    Last May the Russian foreign minister said during the meeting with
    the foreign minister of Azerbaijan Mammedyarov, "Status quo is
    definitely unacceptable for everyone. First of all, for those who
    live in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, I believe. Status
    quo means that the issues of return of the Azerbaijani territories,
    as well as the economic blockade of Armenia have not been resolved,
    therefore there is no need to persuade anyone that the status quo
    is unacceptable."

    Later the Russian co-chair of the Minsk Group Popov announced that
    Lavrov did not say so, he only referred to the proposal on "return
    of territories".

    Besides, Lavrov stated earlier that recognition of independence of
    Karabakh is not acceptable.

    It is hard to guess why Baku had a "slip of the tongue".
