Azerbaijan and Russia act as allies, friends, close partners, and neighbors, said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during a joint press conference with President of Russia Vladimir Putin.
The head of state highlighted the special nature of President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to Azerbaijan.
“Our high-level meetings are held regularly. This year, we have met twice - once in Moscow and once on the sidelines of an international event. However, the format and nature of a state visit is, of course, a special occasion that reflects the high level of intergovernmental relations. The documents adopted today, including primarily the Joint Declaration of the Presidents, reaffirm the friendly and allied nature of our relations. The provisions of the Declaration on Allied Interaction, signed in February 2022, are being successfully implemented. Our countries act as allies, friends, close partners, and neighbors,” the President of Azerbaijan emphasized.
Stability in the South Caucasus largely depends on the cooperation between Russia and Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated during a briefing following talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Aliyev noted that "since September of last year, a completely new situation has emerged in the region. Azerbaijan has fully restored its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This new situation opens up new opportunities for establishing a lasting and long-term peace in the South Caucasus," Aliyev emphasized.
According to him, Azerbaijan and Russia act as allies, friends, close partners, and neighbors. "The documents signed today, including, first and foremost, the Joint Declaration of the Presidents, once again confirm the friendly and allied nature of our relations," Aliyev said.
"We discussed in detail the implementation of the 'North-South' project, which is of exceptional importance for our relations. On Azerbaijani territory, the railway and road segments of the 'North-South' corridor have been fully realized," Aliyev stated.
"We also exchanged views on an issue of concern to both sides, namely the environmental situation in the Caspian Sea and its catastrophic shallowing. We agreed to jointly analyze and outline ways to prevent a possible environmental disaster, both bilaterally and in a five-party format," Aliyev continued.
