Azerbaijan's ex-Foreign Minister Mammadyarov says he keeps in touch with Cavusoglu, Lavrov

Azerbaijan's ex-Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said he has excellent relations with Mevlut Cavusoglu.

In an interview with Report, the diplomat noted that he keeps communicating with Cavusoglu.

"We keep in touch with him to this day," Mammadyarov said.

The ex-minister noted that Mevlut Cavusoglu is a very strong and skillful diplomat: "He continues his political activities as a deputy, heads the delegation of the Turkish Grand National Assembly to NATO. I believe that in this capacity, Cavusoglu will achieve success, like he did as a foreign minister. At the same time, I know the new Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan. In this sense, I am sure that Türkiye's pragmatic foreign policy will continue."

Mammadyarov noted that now he communicates more with media representatives: “Now I am more friends with journalists, I answer their questions. But I continue to communicate with some friends from among diplomats and politicians. For example, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, sometimes we call each other and text each other."
