The Russian Public Chamber and the Eurasian Choice Discussion Club
organized a round-table conference on the eve of the Day of the
Azerbaijan Republic to discuss Russian-Azerbaijani ties, round up
their progress in the past years and exchange opinions about prospects
for further cooperation.
Dmitry Savelyev, a member of the Russian State Duma, the head of the
Russian-Azerbaijani inter-party group, characterized the pace of
Azerbaijan's development as an economic miracle. He believes that
Russia should intensify cultural exchange with Azerbaijan, where the
Russian language and culture are cultivated. The lawmaker reminded
that the State Duma was having regular councils with the Azerbaijani
parliament, sending delegations there, intensifying intercultural and
tourism interaction. Contacts, in his words, have intensified in the
past two years. He expressed confidence that Russia will pay more
attention to the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.
Remiz Sevdimaliyev, a Doctor of Political Sciences, the chief
scientist of the Philosophy and Law Institute of the Azerbaijan
National Academy of Sciences, said that there were no unresolved
issues between Russia and Azerbaijan. He noted that Azerbaijan was
cooperating with both the center of Russia and its regions. The
scientist called the Russian language the second most important
language in the country and hopes that Russia will play a great role
in settling the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
Sergey Mamedov, a member of the Federation Council Committee for
Regulations and Organization of Parliamentary Work, noted the high
level of integration between the two states, the dynamic development
of commerce and ties with regions.
Oleg Bondarenko, a managing partner of the Agency for Strategic
Communications, recommended Russia and Azerbaijan to partake in new
integration projects, such as the Eurasian Union. According to him,
Azerbaijan plays a special role in the Russia-Azerbaijan-Turkey and
Russia-Azerbaijan-Iran cooperation formats. He called Azerbaijan a
factor of stability in an unstable region.
Asim Mollazadeh, an Azerbaijani MP and the head of the Party for
Democratic Reforms, said that Azerbaijan paid special attention to
bilateral cooperation with Russia. In his words, Azerbaijan was not
ready to regard Washington, Brussels, Ankara or Moscow as older
brothers and wanted equality in relations. He considers intercultural
cooperation essential for strategic development and enrichment of its
morals, on the condition that modernization and globalization would
not destroy its traditional culture.
