Military-technical cooperation (MTC) between Russia and Azerbaijan is actively developing and tends to rise, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said.
"In the press from time to time there are data on the volume of our MTC, which do not always reflect reality. Currently, the amount of military-technical cooperation between Russia and Azerbaijan is measured by four billion dollars and tends to rise," the President said at the news conference after the talks with President Vladimir Putin in Baku.
As informs Interfax, he expressed confidence that "in the future, this cooperation will continue apace."
"Azerbaijan is among the leading countries - buyers of Russian military equipment, which is considered one of the best in the world," said Aliyev.
