The law was adopted by the Azerbaijani side, there are no any other restrictions on the border. This law was adopted long ago, and it was announced that the restrictions come into force on August 1" said Imerlishvili.

It has to be noted that Azerbaijan has adopted a law that restricts the entry of American and European vehicles manufactured before 2005, and Japanese manufactured before 2011.
