The main target of the negotiations is to prepare a draft intergovernmental agreement between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan on the transportation of Kazakhstani oil via Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.

He says that in late May representatives of the two countries on the top level will meet to take a final decision on the main issues, on which the lawyers will have either agreed or disagreed so that the document would then be presented for consideration to the governments of the two countries.
