    "Russia has been actively contributing to the soonest settlement
    of the conflict, which is only possible through political means,"
    said Russian President Vladimir Putin in the course of his meeting
    with Azerbnaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku overnight. Russian
    President Vladimir Putin paid a one-day working visit to Baku.

    "During the talks we touched upon urgent international issues,
    including, of course, the Nagorno-Karabakh issue," Putin said in a
    final press conference.

    Aliyev said the conflict may only be solved on the basis of
    international law.

    The two presidents touched upon delimitation in the Caspian Sea. Putin
    said Moscow and Baku are interested in resolution of the issues of the
    countries in the Caspian region. "There are many unsettled problems:
    border delimitation, bio-resources and others. We are extremely
    interested that all these issues are settled within the interests of
    all the countries of the Caspian Sea," he said.

    The Russian and Azerbaijani state oil companies on Tuesday agreed to
    establish a joint venture on a parity basis to prospect and produce
    oil and gas in Russia and Azerbaijan and in other countries as Russian
    President Vladimir Putin paid a one-day working visit to Baku.

    Rosneft reported that it had also agreed with the State Oil Company
    of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) to jointly use some pipelines and
    terminals to optimize supplies to consumers. A cooperation agreement
    was signed by Rosneft and SOCAR respective chiefs, Igor Sechin and
    Rovnag Abdullayev, in the presence of Putin and Azerbaijani leader
    Ilham Aliyev. The two oil giants also said they would cooperate in
    marketing and sales of oil, gas and oil products.

    Rosneft has shown interest in joining the development of the Apsheron
    gas field in the Caspian Sea, whereas Russia's largest privately
    held oil company, LUKoil, is participating in the development of
    the Shah Deniz gas field in the Caspian Sea and owns a network
    of gasoline-filling stations in Azerbaijan. The two countries'
    emergencies ministries signed a cooperation plan for 2013-2015,
    and a new program to train Azerbaijani emergencies staff will soon
    be worked out, a Russian ministry spokeswoman said.

    The Russian delegation comprised Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov,
    Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu, Energy Minister Alexander Novak,
    Emergency Situations Minister Aleksey Ulyukayev, as well as Director
    general of Rosoboronexport Anatoly Isaykin, Head of the Russian
    Delegation at multilateral negotiations on the Caspian Sea Igor
    Bratchikov, LUKoil CEO Vagit Alekperov and Rosneft Chief Sechin.
