MOSCOW, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Moscow and Baku intend to implement a
number of regional projects involving Iran and Turkey, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Azeri counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov said
Wednesday.
At a joint news conference following talks in Moscow, Lavrov said
Russia supports the active implementation of the projects, which
include the construction of the North-South transport corridor
involving Iran and the East-West corridor engaging Turkey.
"The Russia-Azerbaijan-Iran energy bridge is also a very relevant and
demanded project," Lavrov said.
He said he is sure that the three countries will implement the project
by uniting their electrical power generating and transporting systems.
Azerbaijan considers cooperation in a trilateral or quadrilateral
format very promising, particularly the integration of the three
energy systems, Bayramov said during the news conference.
Within the North-South corridor, Azerbaijan has completed a new
highway between Baku and the Iranian border, and in the next few
months will finish building another highway connecting Baku with the
Russian border, Bayramov added.
Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
