"Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict remaining unsolved is the main threat to national security of Azerbaijan. Taking these into account, for insurance of security, we don't think it is expedient to publicize statements about our activities. But I state once again that all required measures are taken to prevent any threats to Azerbaijan national security and interests," he stated.
