Official Baku expects the new leadership of Armenia to recognize
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and undertake steps for
achievement of peace.

The due announcement was made by Azerbaijan’s deputy foreign
minister Araz Azimov, Interfax-Azerbaijan referring to ATV channel.

"We expect the President of Armenia to undertake steps in the
framework of international norms. Due steps should be taken for the
conflict resolution and it is necessary to understand that peace with
Azerbaijan has no alternative. Territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
should primarily be recognized", Azimov said.

contradicts to international norms and is not a precedent for
conflict around Nagorno Karabakh.
