Bayramov noted that the Armenian leadership’s military-political provocations against Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and sovereignty derail Azerbaijan’s efforts as the country came forward with peace proposals and initiatives to normalize relations in the region. He stressed that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s congratulation sent to the fictitious regime runs counter to his statements supporting Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and sovereignty including Karabakh region. The Minister found the need for condemnation of the illegal activity related to the “election” held by the fictitious regime created by Armenia. He underscored the need for withdrawing and disarming over 10 thousand Armenian militants, who pose the greatest threat for the region.
