Bayramov, during the press conference, reiterated Baku’s claim that Armenia’s military procurements hinder the quick signing of a peace deal and claimed that Yerevan doesn’t respect the principle of territorial integrity while Baku and Tbilisi do.
The Azerbaijani Azeri Press Agency reports that the Azerbaijani government has allocated land to Georgia for the construction of a new embassy building in Baku.
