    Moscow and Baku have no unresolved issues

    27 May 2014 - 2:09pm


    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.
