Russian – Azerbaijani relations during and after Dmitry Medvedev’s term in office

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the period in the relations of these two countries when Dmitry Medvedev was the president of Russia and the time-period after his presidency. In order to be specific, we took the period from 2008 when Medvedev was elected president and covered the period including year 2013. Although this paper was written in the middle of 2014 we mostly limited the research to year 2013 in order to have conclusive statistical data for comparative analysis of different aspects of relations. This period of relations between the two countries is currently not researched thoroughly and the scholarly articles referring to it are limited, mostly small in size and covering a certain event of the period.
