Yushchenko told Aliyev that Ukraine is interested in oil exploration, extraction and oil refining projects in Azerbaijan. Yushchenko also offered Kyiv's assistance in regulating the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno Karabakh region. On Thursday, both presidents agreed to create a presidential cooperation council between the two countries.
