Publish WebAPI and MVC projects to same Azure Web Site?

I have two seperate projects in Visual Studio - one with a WebAPI and one with a MVC Web Site...

Can I publish both of these to the same Azure Web Site, so that requests to: - /api/products/ => gives JSON from the WebAPI - /products/ => gives HTML from the MVC web site
