Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan, spoke about Azerbaijani-Russian relations, APA reports.
In an exclusive interview with EU Today and a small group of journalists, Hajiyev discussed relations with Russia in the wake of the recent downing of an Azerbaijani civilian aircraft. He acknowledged “a certain misunderstanding” and “emotions” in the immediate aftermath, but said that Baku’s concerns had been discussed at a subsequent meeting in Dushanbe. Azerbaijan, he said, had sought four elements from Moscow: an official apology, a full investigation, justice for those responsible and compensation. “Once these issues are addressed,” he stated, “we are turning the page of the misunderstanding and continuing as normal neighbourly relations between the two countries.”
