KIEV, Sept. 19 - President Viktor Yushchenko will visit Azerbaijan in November to try to resume efforts to organize an alternative to Russia’s Caspian Sea oil supply route, shattered after Russia’s invasion into Georgia last month.

Yushchenko will join a regional energy summit in Baku, the foreign ministry reported Friday. Borys Klymchuk, Ukraine’s ambassador to Azerbaijan, met Yagub Eyyubov, the Azeri first deputy prime minister, earlier Friday to outline the visit’s agenda.
