The Minister emphasized that the issue of withdrawing the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from the occupied territories of the Republic of Armenia will definitely be addressed during the negotiations concerning the demarcation and delimitation of the state border.br

Today, tomorrow, or in two years? I cannot say at what stage we will achieve this. However, when we discuss demarcation, we refer to the area from the highest point in the northeast of the country to the lowest point in the southeast, including the entire border between Nakhichevan and the Republic of Armenia. All issues must be addressed, the head of the Ministry of Economy added. -0- br
