(Presenter) Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Abid Sarifov has said
that the arrival of the Armenian Energy Ministry’s representative in
Baku does not amount to building up cooperation between Azerbaijan
and Armenia.

(Sarifov) It has been said more than once and our esteemed president
has repeatedly said from the UN rostrum that until peace is established
with Armenia, there can be no talk of economic cooperation with
Armenia in any sphere.

They can speak about anything and this is their own business. The
Armenians can come here and see how Azerbaijan is developing. Bu this
does not mean cooperation.
