We believe that correct geographical names should always be used. Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan stated this in an interview with Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the fact that the Azerbaijani presidential administration's official statement on Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's speech had referred to the Armenian capital Yerevan as "Irivan," in the Azerbaijani “form.”

"To be honest, I have not had time to follow that statement, so I will not comment further. But it is important for the Republic of Armenia that the correct official names are used, just as we respect the territorial security of our native state," the deputy foreign minister of Armenia noted.
