Baku, Azerbaijan, Aug. 20
By Anvar Mammadov - Trend:
Russia will do everything necessary to strengthen relations with Azerbaijan, Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan Mikhail Bocharnikov said at a briefing on Aug. 20.
"Russia and Azerbaijan are sovereign, sustainable and stable independent states able to determine the circle of their friends on international arena. Russia will do everything possible to ensure that our relations with Azerbaijan strengthen further," Bocharnikov said.
"When it comes to the issue of attacks against Russia and Azerbaijan, we believe that the uni-polar approach has already become obsolete. There are many different centers of influence in the world that build relations based on their national interests. I do not think that any influence on Azerbaijan can be strong enough to affect the country and force to act differently, against its sovereignty," the ambassador added.
