The damage Azerbaijan suffered amounted to $ 60 billion following the warâ€.
The leftists welcoming the decision of German government which did not recognize separatist regime in Nagorno Karabakh and its referendum, demanded restoration of Azerbaijanâ€™s territorial integrity. â€œThe new escalation of the conflict will lead the Caucasus region into the new instability and worsen humanitarian situationâ€.
