As to Aliyev’s comments about aversion to Turkish PM Ergodan, Atanesyan noted that relations between Baku and Ankara are not so radiant as it may seem. “One of the facts evidencing problems is inability to cancel visa requirements,” he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Iran’s refusal to do so arouses Baku’s indignation.” Attanesyan ironically added that Aliyev’s statements prove diplomatic illiteracy of MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations) graduate.
