BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 13. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and EU High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borell have held a phone conversation, Trend reports.
The sides discussed the current situation in the region and the tension caused by the provocations of Armenia against Azerbaijan on the border.
