Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin and Azerbaijani President Heidar Aliev signed a package of bilateral agreements, including one on the export of so-called early oil from the Russian port of Novorossiisk, Russian and Western media reported on 18 January. The agreement, under which up to 5 million tons of "early" Caspian oil will be transported to market annually via Russian pipelines, confirmed an October decision of the international consortium managing the so-called "deal of the century." According to Vagit Alekperov, president of the Russian company "LUKoil," which holds a 10% stake in the consortium, the agreement calls for a $60 million renovation of the Baku-Grozny-Novorossiisk pipeline, to be completed later this year. Other agreements included one on economic cooperation through the year 2000 and a protocol on supplying major industrial production in 1996. -- Lowell Bezanis and Scott Parrish
