Such statements are important, and Russia should react to them. However, developing cooperation is a sovereign right of both Turkey and Azerbaijan.
"Therefore, we should welcome those statements, given that it was also said that Russia, Turkey and Azerbaijan are striving for peace together. There were a lot of positive words said about Russia. It makes sense to continue cooperation, "Markov added.
