YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan will close its Embassy in Stockholm, the activities of which cover three countries – Sweden, Norway and Finland, Haqqin.az reports citing a source of the Azerbaijani foreign ministry.

Earlier Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway Ine Eriksen Søreide said Oslo will close its Embassy in Baku and will open a new one in Tbilisi, Georgia. The minister said Norway makes such a decision taking into account its interests in the South Caucasus.

Closing its Embassy in Sweden, Norway and Finland is perhaps official Baku’s response to Norway’s such decision.
