"There has always been a strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and Russia," Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists, commenting on the development of Azerbaijani-Russian relations.
"In the context of the fact that Russia is a big neighbor. If you look through the prism of the economy, this is a huge market. If we talk about mutual understanding, then we have no problems with the language. The Russian language is the language of international communication. I think that for Azerbaijan building normal, mutually beneficial relations with Russia is a priority," the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan said.
