"Today, Armenia is in a dire situation because of the negligent policy pursued by the country's leadership. They are hiding the coronavirus figures from their citizens," he said.

"While begging for help, they oppose the initiative of President Ilham Aliyev to convene a special session of the UN General Assembly. In this way, Armenia is revealing its true nature," Hajiyev stressed.
