Rafael Huseynov has told APA.
According to him, mission headed by O’Hara had been considered to
begin the visit from Azerbaijan: “Today we were informed that O’Hara
has delayed the visit. I will clarify the matter. But presumably the
visit was cancelled by the wish of Armenian side.”

monuments of Azerbaijan in Armenia, as well as in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan by Armenians, investigating historical and
