The Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan called the interpretation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in such a context unacceptable. The statement also mentions that the Azerbaijani side is taking practical steps to facilitate the conclusion of a peace treaty with Armenia.

Azerbaijan is interested in ensuring peace and stability in the region and will continue its efforts in that direction,” the statement said.
