I.Aliyev noted the importance of humanitarian forums, in particular the forum of intercultural dialogue in Baku, which are underway under the patronage of the presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan.

Cooperation of Azerbaijan and Russia in the humanitarian sphere is a model of cooperation in the humanitarian sphere. Russia is very highly appreciated that in Azerbaijan there are more than 330 schools with learning in Russian, as well as branches of leading Russian universities. We are in constant contact, and work like close friends and partners. “
