18 JUNE 2014
MOSCOW, Russia
The following information was released by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Russian Federation:
Mr. Ilham Geydarovich,
The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, extends to
you his greetings. He frequently recalls warmly his visit last year and
the informal communications held, apart from the official negotiations.
We share your assessments with regard to the strategic nature of
our relations, their development in all areas - trade, economic,
investment and humanitarian. Last year, the Programme of cooperation
in the humanitarian area up to 2015 was signed during the visit of
the President of Russia.
Of course, we share a lot of interests at regional and international
level. Today at the meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Elmar
Mammadyarov, we discussed in detail the preparations to the Caspian
summit and the state of affairs in the Nagorny Karabakh settlement,
taking into consideration your meeting with the President of the
Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, last year and the work of the
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group. We discussed our common tasks in
the UN, the OSCE and the Council of Europe, where Azerbaijan is a
president in the Ministerial Committee. We actively supported Baku
as a candidate.
I thank you for the possibility of discussing our assessments of
close relations between our two countries.
