He stated that Azerbaijan has signed an agreement with leading lawyers of the world in related to the issue: “A very comprehensive position has been presented to the ECHR on the issue. It is the last stage of the process. After that, the ECHR should determine the hearing date and hold the hearing. Most likely the hearing will be held next year”.
