Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that unblocking transport communications in the South Caucasus is beneficial to all countries of the region.

“Despite all the problems that we still have, I think that we can be satisfied with the level we have reached. We will discuss this in detail today. But in any case, there are certain agreements, not only in connection with ensuring the safety of local residents, but also those related to the development of trade and economic ties and enabling transport communication,” Putin said.

According to him, unblocking transport communications comes from the interests of all countries in the region.

“I know that there are still some disputes, things to work on. But we are going to do everything in our power to ensure that the process moves forward using peaceful means and to attain satisfaction for all parties involved. By the way, I know that both the Russian Federation and your other neighbors are interested in dealing with these issues, including those regarding transport. Not only Azerbaijan and Armenia are interested in this, Russia and your other neighbors are interested as well,” Putin said.
