There is also the issue of the post-conflict situation in the region. I would like to thank you for your constant attention to this issue, for your personal participation in solving very important and sensitive issues.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

"We are in constant contact with you. In the eight months since the end of the military operation, I think our personal meeting and telephone conversations in Moscow in January have played a very important role in stabilizing the situation. We are determined to make the post-conflict period as painless as possible. I think we will achieve this with our joint efforts," Ilham Aliyev said.
