Russia is interested in friendly relations with his all neighbors, especially with those we have century-old friendship, good-neighbor and cooperation relations with. And in this respect there exists an interest for permanent cooperation and constructive dialog, Chairman of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Sergey Mironov stated.

Speaking about Moscow-Baku relations, Mironov stated, "Azerbaijan is our strategic partner in Caucasus and South Caucasus". "We have a lot in common, we have Caspian Sea, where not only Russia and Kazakhstan, but also Turkmenistan and Iran must agree on. We have Caucasian problems. We have a joint green wound-the Nagorno Karabakh problem, since this wound hurts not only the Azeri nation, but also Russia. We know unless the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is solved it will always be a source of instability in Caucasus," Mironov stressed.

He said, Russia will be ready to accept any mutually acceptable variants of solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. If you want Russia to be a guarantee for these agreements we will do it with pleasure. Here we have a very open stance," Mironov noted, "Trend" reports.
