BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 17. Azerbaijan and
Russia are moving toward fully realizing the potential of the
Moscow Declaration on allied cooperation, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov said.
Lavrov made the remarks during a meeting with his Azerbaijani
counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov in Moscow.
"Despite certain difficulties that occasionally arise, the sides
are moving toward fully realizing the potential of the Moscow
Declaration on allied cooperation, which was signed on February 22,
2022," Lavrov said.
He noted that this year, through agreements reached at the
highest level and the efforts of governments and ministries, all
issues related to the consequences of the December 25, 2024 crash
of an AZAL passenger aircraft had been resolved.
"A joint statement by the foreign ministries regarding this
shared tragedy has been adopted. Today, we will discuss the current
state and prospects of our cooperation, including in the economic
sphere. The 24th meeting of the intergovernmental commission was
held in April. We also have positive trends and prospects in the
cultural and humanitarian sphere.
Of course, we will discuss the situation in the South Caucasus.
We have noted the renewed and growing interest in the '3+3'
regional cooperation platform. I look forward to productive talks
today," he added.
