The Russian Information and Cultural Centre in Baku held on Monday
discussions of the prospects of the Azerbaijani-Russian relations,
dedicated to the inauguration of Vladimir Putin.
At the opening of the round table political scientist Fikret Sadikhov
said that improvement of the Azerbaijani-Russian relations is closely
related to the name of Vladimir Putin. "After Putin came to power
for the first time the relationship between the two countries rose
to a new level," Sadikhov said. He said that at present Russia is a
reliable partner of Azerbaijan.
MP Asim Mollazade during the discussions touched on the prospects of
relations between Azerbaijan and Russia. He said that in many cases
positions of Azerbaijan and Russia will be the same, "except for
military partnership between Russia and Armenia". Nevertheless, the
MP believes that Russia will exert pressure on Armenia to resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Mollazade also said that further cooperation
between Azerbaijan and Russia should be expanded not only in economic
and energy, but also in the cultural sphere.
Deputy Director of the Center for Strategic Studies Gulshan Pashayeva
said that since 2001, with Putin's visit as president of Russia to
Azerbaijan a new phase began in relations between the two countries,
particularly in the humanitarian sphere. She expressed hope that
Russia will use its potential for finding ways to resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
MP Elmira Akhundova said that Vladimir Putin is a politician who knows
the problem of Azerbaijan, the man who wants peace to his people. She
wished Russia to confirm during Putin's presidency its great power
status, and wished Russia's opinion to be taken into consideration more
when making decisions on peace and security. Nevertheless Akhundova,
referring to Putin's latest article, noted that she is disturbed by
the absence in this article of reflections about the prospects of
cooperation with Azerbaijan.
MP, a political scientist Rasim Musabekov in his speech paid attention
to the issue of the Gabala radar station. He said the issue should
be resolved by taking into account economic and other interests of
both countries. He also noted that the two countries have overlapping
interests in the energy sector.
