Moscow and Baku have a close and constructive dialogue on all issues, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
"Moscow and Baku are in a state of regular and very close constructive dialogue on all issues," he told reporters when asked whether Azerbaijan was cooperating with Russia on the investigation into the downed Russian helicopter and what the Kremlin knew about the progress of this investigation.
"That's all I can tell you in answer to this question," he added.
The Russian Defense Ministry said on November 9 that the Russian Mi-24 was shot down in airspace over Armenian territory outside the combat zone. Two crew members were killed, one was evacuated with injuries of medium severity. Azerbaijan admitted that it shot down the Russian helicopter by accident, apologized and expressed its readiness to compensate Russia. The General Prosecutor's Office of Azerbaijan opened a criminal case under the article "negligent attitude towards service" in connection with the crash of the Russian Mi-24 helicopter on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
