In addition, the study assesses the state of relations between countries after the collapse of the USSR. In the work, such methods were used as: analysis, generalization, comparative analysis, as the main method for studying the main foreign policy activities of countries and the principle of objectivity, which allows establishing the main direction in relations between countries in the humanitarian sphere. In this work, the final agreements in the field of humanitarian cooperation were evaluated. The results of the study make it clear that since the 2000s, Russia and Azerbaijan have reached a new level of strategic cooperation. One of the key conditions in the development of cooperation between the countries is the mutual visits of representatives of the two countries at the highest level, in the spirit of strategic partnership. Thus, we can confidently say that the parties have excellent prospects for the future development of interstate relations in the humanitarian sphere, taking into account the presence of modern challenges in shaping the humanitarian policy of the two countries.
