Azerbaijan and Russia are marking the 19th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, ITAR-TASS reports.
Azerbaijani Ambassador to Moscow Polad Bul-Bul ogly believes that mutual understanding, trust and constructive dialogue became possible after signing a document on the delimitation of the state border between the two countries in September 2010 and a recent agreement on opening diplomatic missions.
The ambassador recalled that hundreds of thousands of Russians live in Azerbaijan, as well as hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis who live in Russia. It is a good platform for contacts.
The full potential of bilateral ties cannot be exploited without a settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. Russia is especially active in the process, as a member of the OSCE Minsk Group. It may play the determining role in settling the conflict, he underlined.
Polad Bul-Bul ogly mentioned the trilateral meeting of the Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian presidents organized by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
