Azerbaijan and Russia discuss Nagorno-Karabakh, petroleum, Eurovision
21 May 2013 - 11:39am
Azerbaijani and Russian Foreign Ministers Elmar Mammadyarov and Sergey
Lavrov have discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Mammadyarov
believes that efforts to resolve it should be tripled and the conflict
is solvable.
The minister noted positive development of relations with Russia and
reminded about the strategic partnership formed in 2008.
Lavrov said that Russia will continue efforts to resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The sides discussed transfer of Azerbaijani oil through the
Baku-Novorossiysk Pipeline to Russia. Azerbaijan's SOCAR and Russia's
Transneft will continue talks on further oil transfers. The deal on
transportation of Azerbaijani oil was loss-making for Russia, because
the pipeline was not full.
The ministers discussed the Eurovision Song Contest. Russia gave the
Azerbaijani singer 12 points. The majority of the Azerbaijani
population voted for the Russian singer. Azerbaijan's cellphone
operator put Russia on the second position with 1677 votes. Other two
operators say Russia got high points.
The Public Television of Azerbaijan will clarify the problem with
disappearance of the Eurovision points Azerbaijan gave Russia.
