Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan met with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. Lavrov thanked Mirzoyan for his first visit to Moscow as Foreign Minister.
Tension in the South Caucasus pertain due to the destructive policy of Azerbaijan, which fails to fulfill the provisions of the trilateral statement of November 9 on the cessation of battles in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated at a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.
He added that the official Baku, constantly generating new false agendas, refuses to fulfill its obligations, in particular, it does not return all Armenian prisoners of war (POWs) and other detainees.
“Stability in our region is our strategy, and we are ready for an active dialogue in this direction. However, a rather tense situation pertains in the region, and this is largely predetermined by Azerbaijan’s destructive policy,” Armenia’s Foreign Minister said.
“Baku is not fulfilling its obligations under the trilateral statement of November 9, 2020 adopted by the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, which was achieved through personal efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Moreover, in violation of all norms of international law, Azerbaijan is openly making provocative actions, which are a direct encroachment on the sovereign territory of Armenia, which we encountered on May 12,” he said.
