Azerbaijan will not cooperate with Armenia within the framework of
the World Trade Organization (WTO) till the final establishment of
peace. The Azeri deputy Foreign Minister Mahmoud Mamedkuliev mentioned
about it, day.az reports.

According to the deputy Minister, this does not contradict to UN
provisions taking into account the fact that Armenia has taken up
the commitment not to hinder Azerbaijan~Rs entering the WTO.

According to Mr. Mamedkuliev, in the initial phase of negotiations
with WTO Azerbaijan managed to make the RA Foreign Minister take up
the commitment.

Armenia has been member of the organization since 2001.

According to the deputy Minister, the fact that Armenia was quicker
than Azerbaijan is accounted for by the fact that Armenia had applied
earlier and has been accepted with certain concessions.
