The peoples of Russia and Azerbaijan have been tied with the closest
friendship and trust links for centuries, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
stated in his welcome addressing the participants of All-Russian Azerbaijani
Congress held in Moscow on Friday.
Sergey Vinokurov, Chief of the Russian
President's Office's Division for Inter-Regional and Cultural Links with Foreign
Countries, read the President's message.
"Working together, our ancestors created our common history, which we are really proud of today, promoted to mutual penetration and mutual enrichment of our national cultures, and in the years of the Great Patriotic War fought a common enemy for independence," the message said.
It is pleasant that invaluable traditions of good-neighborliness and
partnership are developing and passed from generation to generation; Russia is
the second homeland for hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis, Medvedev's
message reads.
"Today, the Azerbaijani Diaspora contributes substantially to
modernization of domestic economy, takes an active part in scientific, sports
and cultural life, and does much to strengthen international and
inter-confessional peace and consent in the society, and development of
partnership and cooperation with sovereign Azerbaijan," the message said.
