Therefore, today, in this sense, is a very important day.

With regards to the future, I absolutely agree that our frequent meetings and communication, both here in Azerbaijan and in the Russian Federation, as well as in other places during various summits, are assurances of close, strong, and friendly relations for many years to come. This is how we see Russian-Azerbaijan relations.
