Azerbaijan,Baku / corr. Trend I.Alizade / Releasing its territories from occupation is the sovereign right of Azerbaijan and as long as it is not too late, the Armenian side should seriously consider that point, the Defence Minister of Azerbaijan, Safar Abiyev, said at the meeting with the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Matthew Bryza, on 2 August.
