Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has announced the possibility of creating a trilateral format of Azerbaijan-Russia-Turkey cooperation. 

“What was signed yesterday (February 22 – ed.), in fact, if positioned from our point of view, is a historic achievement (signing of the declaration on allied cooperation with Russia – ed.), because Azerbaijan has allied relations with two powerful countries, two neighbors. This is, in fact, an achievement. And it’s no secret that a trilateral format of cooperation is already being formed,” Aliyev said at a meeting with the heads of leading Russian media.

Aliyev noted that the format of trilateral cooperation has not yet been formulated, meetings at the level of foreign ministers and presidents have not yet been held, but it’s in the process of being formed.
