Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Hikmet Hajiyev was appointed Deputy Head of the International Relations Department of Azerbaijan’s Presidential Administration on September 17.
Because the post of the head of the foreign relations department of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan is currently vacant (Novruz Mammadov held this post before his appointment as prime minister), Hikmet Hajiyev basically became acting head of the department of the Presidential Administration.
Hikmet Hajiyev has been spokesman of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry since 2014.
