“Because Azerbaijan territorial integrity has been violated for years and continues even now.

However, the government unequivocally boycotts the vote because it is wary of Russia, neither against nor abstaining.

“Azerbaijan anyway of Ukraine recognizes territorial integrity and uses all opportunities to support it.”
