I was very pleased to see President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, because this is yet another proof of Azerbaijan’s close friendship and genuine brotherly cooperation with Türkiye, said Mikhail Gusman, First Deputy Director General of Russia’s TASS Information Agency, APA’s correspondent dispatched to Antalya reports.

Mikhail Gusman emphasized the importance of the Forum: “There are various global challenges, from the South Caucasus to the Middle East, from the Russia-Ukraine conflict to the problems on the African continent. To solve these problems, dialogue and the need to bring positions closer are essential.”

He noted that Azerbaijan has strong ties with both Russia and Türkiye. He added that especially after the 44-day war and the Victory, it is natural that relations between Türkiye and Azerbaijan have reached an even higher level.

“The participation of the President of Azerbaijan in the Forum is a very significant indication and proof of the close relations with the brotherly country,” Gusman stressed.
