Baku.

“Nothing like this has happened, all of these are media reports. Russia is a strategic partner for Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani Foreign Minister has recently paid an official visit to Russia and his meetings took place in a friendly atmosphere.”

According to Ambassador, invalidation of the agreement on the transportation of oil through Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline is connected with purely economic reasons.

“This agreement favors neither Russia, nor Azerbaijan. If a problem appears in the relations with Russia, it is discussed constructively and solved,” he said.
