The Foreign Ministry spoke about the development of relations between Russia and Azerbaijan

Relations between Russia and Azerbaijan are developing on the basis of the principles of good neighborliness, mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests, Mikhail Kalugin, director of the fourth department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“Relations between Russia and Azerbaijan are developing on the basis of the principles of good neighborliness, mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests. We are very glad that together we managed to turn the page associated with the plane crash in December 2024, which became a common tragedy for us and claimed the lives of citizens of Azerbaijan, Russia and Kazakhstan,” Kalugin said.

According to him, this would have been impossible without a confidential dialogue between the Presidents of Russia Vladimir Putin and Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
