Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev expressed great concern over the "contradictory" norms of international law and UN Security Council resolutions by the decision of US President Donald Trump on recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and transferring the capital of Israel to this city.

"This decision has a negative impact on a just and comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and can lead to dangerous consequences in the Middle East. We believe that the United States should reconsider this decision,"Aliyev said today at the extraordinary summit of the heads of state of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
