principal of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and Baku will not
change its position.
Azimov said the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must be resolved only in
line with international law.

the next rounds of negotiations.
In response to a question about opening of Armenia-Turkey border,

sign the Protocol on Establishment of Diplomatic Relations and
Protocol on Development of Bilateral Relations, the Turkish Foreign
