On August 11, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan had a telephone conversation with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus Constantinos Kombos.
The Foreign Minister of Armenia briefed his counterpart on the details of the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh resulting from Azerbaijan's illegal blockade of the Lachin corridor and the severe conditions created for the local population. Minister Mirzoyan noted that Azerbaijan, violating the Trilateral statement of November 9, 2020, and the Order of the International Court of Justice of February 22, not only continues the blockade of the Lachin corridor but also, by the installation of the illegal checkpoint in April, disrupts even the transportation of people with serious health issues by the International Committee of Red Cross.
Highly appreciating the statements of international partners, including Cyprus, Ararat Mirzoyan emphasized the urgency of joint efforts on different platforms aimed at lifting the blockade of the Lachin corridor. The Foreign Minister of Cyprus reaffirmed his country's approach on this issue. Both sides emphasized the need to implement the Orders of the International Court of Justice of February 22 and July 6.
