BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 29. We have good relations with all our neighbors, not only with Turkiye and Russia but also with Georgia and Iran, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said addressing the international conference under the motto “South Caucasus: Development and Cooperation”, Trend reports.
"We do what is in the interests of Azerbaijani people, which the people who want peace after so many years of occupation. Of course, economic and political dialogue should continue and we are in favor of that. You also mentioned about a kind of triangle between Turkiye-Russia and Azerbaijan. It didn’t happen yet. We didn’t have any formal engagement at any level. But at the same time, there are a lot of issues which are interrelated. Particularly, transportation and energy. And we have active dialogue with both of these countries on separate tracks. They have it on their own track, but it has never been a kind of a trilateral format. Today I think, it’s a little bit premature to talk about that. Basically, we are satisfied with the regional configuration. We have good relations with all our neighbors, not only with Turkiye and Russia but also with Georgia and Iran. We hope to have good relations with Armenia and thus, we will be surrounded by the area of stability. That’s what we want in order to concentrate on peace agenda, on economy in order not to spend billions of dollars every year for purchasing arms, but to divert it into economy and reconstruction," the head of state said.
