Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has stated that there will be no bilateral contacts with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan following his provocative statements on Nagorno-Karabakh [(Artsakh)], Azerbaijani media reported.

"My contacts with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia have stopped after his provocative statements—although he was the initiator of our contacts. He promised to make efforts to resolve the conflict," Aliyev told a news conference for foreign and local media on Friday.

According to him, the Azerbaijani side agreed to the Armenian PM’s wish.
