Azerbaijan, Baku / corr Trend S.Ilhamgizi / MP Asim Mollazade, the
chairman of the Democratic Reforms Party (DRP) of Azerbaijan stated
there is no serious rivalry between Azerbaijan and Russia in the
energy sector.
The implementation of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan export oil pipeline and
the Baku-Erzerum gas pipeline do not trouble Moscow, because Russia
can deliver to the world markets the oil produced in the north part
of the Caspian, Mollazade said. The Russian President plans to hold
talks with the leader of Kazakhstan.
After the Russian President Vladimir Putin’s coming to power Moscow’s
policy towards Azerbaijan has become balanced, while Armenia does
not receive military assistance from Russia as earlier, MP added.
" Russia realizes the significance of Azerbaijan, while the existing
potential is not used properly to upgrade the bilateral relations. We
cannot make Russian aware of the maintenance of the Russian culture
and language in the country. Our countries are interrelated with
close historic and culture relationships. At present mutual propaganda
could promote greatly contribute in the proximity of the cultures,"
MP Mollazade stressed.
