Successful resolution of the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh would strengthen Russian-Azerbaijani ties and contribute much to the implementation of Eurasian integration projects, Russian presidential aide Sergey Glaziyev says, commenting on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to Baku.
Minister Lavrov visited Azerbaijan on June 18. The official met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and underlined that Azerbaijan is Russia's strategic partner.
"Azerbaijan is our traditional and very close partner. We work together every day. We have established successful cooperation in the spheres of culture, trade and in the humanitarian sphere," Glaziyev says.
"Unfortunately, Azerbaijan is not a participant in the Eurasian economic integration. We would like the country to be a lawful member of this integration process," he says.
