Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to
Russia Polad Bulbuloglu stated that David Babayan's visit to Moscow
was private, Azernews reports.
Previously, the Armenian media reported that David Babayan, who
introduces himself as the 'minister of foreign affairs' of a
non-existent entity on the Azerbaijani territory, held meetings
with Russian officials from June 21 through June 27.
'According to official information received from Russia, the man
in question was in the territory of the country for a private visit
during a specified period and the reports of a 'working visit' are
wide of the mark. His meetings were private and none of the Russian
officials met him,' the embassy said.
The embassy noted that residents of Azerbaijan's Karabakh region
(persons of Armenian origin) arrive in Russia with passports of
Armenia, and the dissemination of reports of such alleged 'visits'
is provocative.
He added that such information aims to mislead public opinion
and casts a shadow over the Azerbaijani-Russian relations.
Azerbaijan and Russian regions have mutual cooperation in
different fields, such as economy, agriculture, customs,
communications, high technology, and others. More than 230
intergovernmental and intercompany documents have been signed
between the two countries and six 'road maps' are being
implemented.
Azerbaijani investments in Russia's economy have exceeded $1.2
billion, with the majority of these investments being in the
non-oil sector. In addition, Russian investments in Azerbaijan's
economy totaled $6.3 billion, with $5 billion invested in the oil
sector and $1.3 billion in non-oil sectors.
The trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Russia amounted to
$2.9 billion in 2021, making Russia Azerbaijan's third-largest
partner.
