Report informs, citing the head of state, that, unfortunately, these negotiations didn't produce any result.

"But at the same time, it is also clear, especially now that the relations between the United States and Russia are at a very low level, that issue of conflict resolution was probably the only one issue where Russia and United States had a very active and very open cooperation," he said.

The president also noted that before the pandemic, Baku hosted regular meetings between the heads of general staffs of Russia and NATO:
