The visit of the Prince of Monaco,Albert, to Baku who spent two days in Azerbaijan, is over, and he was received by President Ilham Aliyev. It is not reported why he arrived in
Baku, except that Albert discussed issues of European Olympic Games and familiarized with the project of building a new district of Baku - White City .
A list of people accompanying the Prince in Baku is very interesting; they are the Minister of Sports and Youth, a representative of Heydar Aliyev Foundation , but the most importantly is the presence of Russian State Duma, deputy Leonid Slutsky. How did he appeared among people accompanying the Prince of Monaco, and how he relates to what is happening - is not clear. However, we know that Slutsky is a member of Zhirinovsky's party and deputy of the Russian delegation to the PACE.
According to the materials of the French press, Slutsky has expensive real estate in the south of France, and has other business interests in this country. Taking it into account, it is possible that the Russian deputy is lobbying certain business interests related to the upcoming games, as well as the implementation of major projects in Baku. -02В-
