YEREVAN. – By paying a working visit to Baku, Russian President Vladimir Putin made the most valuable gift to Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev in the context of upcoming presidential vote.

Former Armenia’s Ombudmsan Larisa Alaverdyan believes unless Azerbaijan and Turkey act in the interests of Russia, official Moscow will raise issues of misconduct on the part of these countries. She stressed that at present deep Azerbaijani-Turkish policy is carried out.

“The shape of relationship with Russia depends on Turkey-Azerbaijan duo. Beside, there will be considerable external influence,” Alaverdyan said during the Saturday press conference.

Vladimir Putin paid a working visit to Azerbaijan on August 13. A number of bilateral agreements, including those on energy and transport, were signed.
