    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.
