Moscow Says its Friendly Ties with Azerbaijan ‘Important’

Friendly relations between Russia and Azerbaijan are of vital importance, while anyone seeking to undermine them should think about the consequences of their actions, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, The Caspian Post reports, citing TASS.

"Quite a few people are looking to warm their hands on this - they must be careful not to burn them. For, I think, friendly relations between our two nations are very important. And those who are seeking to disrupt them should think twice before acting," the diplomat warned.

Russia has for years been building ties with Azerbaijan, relations that are founded on mutual interests and respect, Zakharova noted. "There’s so much that connects us, so many agreements signed," she added.
