Personal relations between Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents are trustful, top Russian official says

"Trustful personal relations between the Russian and Azerbaijani presidents are a pledge of continuity in the two countries’ policies after 2008," he said.

"On Tuesday during his visit to Moscow Azerbaijani President Ilkham Aliyev had a good and open talk with Vladimir Putin. All issues have been discussed and mutual understanding found," he said.

"We are parliamentarians and our task is the formation of a legal field that consolidates agreements at the high level," Mironov said.

In reply to journalists' question whether the problem of Nagorny Karabakh will be on the agenda of the Federation Council delegation's visit, Mironov said "it would be wrong to be in Baku and not to touch on this problem, this open wound."

He pointed out that "only Baku and Yerevan have the way out of this problem." Russia "will accept any decision the two countries will reach. If they wish, Russia will provide assistance guarantees." Itar-Tass
