Armenian media outlets have misinterpreted remarks made by a representative of the Azerbaijani delegation on the sidelines of the 108th Rose-Roth Seminar of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, currently taking place in Yerevan, Armenia’s capital.

The journalist concluded with the following question: “Can this be seen as a sign of territorial claims if Azerbaijan does not want a peace agreement with Armenia?” M.
