According to the Azeri Press Agency, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Elman Abdullayev said that the government of Armenia “was trying to deceive its people on the eve of the presidential election by giving them false information about the recent New South Wales resolution on Karabakh.

They attempt to persuade the Armenian people that Australia has recognized the independence of the occupied territories. Australia has officially stated several times that it fully supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. Moreover, the Australian government has urged its citizens not to visit the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia", the diplomat Abdullayev stressed.
