Azeri deputy FM to attend Armenia event
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud
Mammadguliyev is due to leave for Armenia on Thursday. The visit is
related to his country`s assuming presidency in the Black Sea
Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC), which is currently
chaired by Armenia, at a meeting of the group`s foreign
ministers.
Elkhan Polukhov, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, said the deputy minister`s participation in the Yerevan event was important due to the BSEC chairmanship being transferred to Azerbaijan.
Polukhov added that no meetings were scheduled during Mammadguliyev`s one-day visit.
Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian said earlier that he had invited the Azerbaijani and Turkish counterparts to Yerevan.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in conflict for nearly two decades.
