"I am grateful to Vladimir Vladimirovich for giving a high assessment to our activities, to our joint activities in humanitarian cooperation. This area is always in the spotlight of the presidents," said Azerbaijan President İlham Aliyev as he made a press statement following the meeting with President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin in Moscow, APA reports.
"We can say that we are giving an appropriate impetus to the development of this sphere. And the figures that Vladimir Vladimirovich cited in terms of the number of schools with teaching in Russian and the number of students from Azerbaijan studying in Russia are indicative. They speak for themselves.
I would like to add to this that more than 15,000 students are receiving education at Russian-language departments of higher educational institutions in Azerbaijan. The interest in learning in Russian is growing. There are also branches of Moscow State University and the Sechenov Medical Academy in our country, and we expect to increase the potential for cooperation.
Also this year, we plan to restore the regular holding of the Baku Humanitarian Forum, which was interrupted due to the pandemic. It was held and will continue to be held under the patronage of the Presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan. Today we also discussed issues related to the participation of Russian companies in the work in the liberated territories. There is a lot of interest. To date, 14 applications have been received from Russian companies, and we are closely examining them. I believe that this is a new area of our cooperation – it will be useful from a practical point of view and will also strengthen the level of our interaction."
