Baku. Lachin Sultanova â€“ APA. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister took a stance on Armenian media reports that Turkish Foreign Minister and Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan had an incident. Spokesman for Foreign Minister Elkhan Polukhov told APA that it was another lie of Armenia media. The diplomat said there was no misunderstanding between Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan and Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud Mammadguliyev during the meeting of the Organization of Black Sea Economic Cooperation.
â€œArmenian media wrote several false reports during this event. For example, they reported that Turkish journalists planned to leave Yerevan for Nagorno Karabakh. This is another lie. It seems that Armenian side attempts to cast shadow on the relations between friendly Azerbaijani and Turkish peoples. But such lies can not damage our relations,â€ he said.

Turkish Foreign Ministry also refuted the report.
