Safarov made the remark during the international round table entitled "Russia-Azerbaijan in a new system of regional security and economic cooperation. Results of the year and prospects" held in Baku.
"Our country restored its territorial integrity and sovereignty and implemented four resolutions of the UN Security Council. Azerbaijan implemented the mission of the UN Security Council [by fulfilling the council’s resolutions on the Karabakh conflict, which were adopted in 1993 and urged Armenia to withdraw its armed forces from Karabakh and seven surrounding districts of Azerbaijan], and Russia played an extraordinary role in resolving the conflict. The country is a strategic partner [of Azerbaijan]," he said.

"We hope that all countries of the region are interested in the peaceful settlement of issues in the post-conflict period," added Safarov.
