Tahir Tagizade, the Head of Press & Information at the Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry told journalists on 11 September that the Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry does not face any obstacles with regards to its co-operation on preventing fires in the Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani territory, Trend reports.
In response to whether the recent UN Resolution on State in the Occupied Territory of Azerbaijan awaits the same fate as the previous UN resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh, Tagizade said that non-implementation of the resolutions and absence of mechanisms is not only a problem of the UN, but also to other international organizations. Therefore, Azerbaijan supports the reformation of the UN, he emphasized.

Azerbaijan, has taken all the necessary measures. The first meeting of the inter-departmental working group was held last week, he added.
