Baku / 28.02.20 / Turan: Media reports about restrictions on crossing the borders of Azerbaijan do not correspond to reality, the state border service said on February 28.
According to the same source, citizens, as well as passenger and freight vehicles cross borders without any restrictions.
At the same time, border crossings are operating under heavy duty. Necessary measures have been taken to prevent the corona virus.
