Ilham Aliyev announces meetings with Vladimir Putin

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said he plans to hold a number of meetings with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later in the year.

"No dates have been determined so far but they will be set. Last year, the president and I held five or six meetings, which means that we meet on a regular basis," Aliyev said.

"And we will definitely meet again," TASS cited him as saying.
