I am also here to support you, to encourage you, and to settle the conflict that has not been resolved for a hundred years, and there have already been too many casualties. This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Belgium, Hadja Lahbib, during a joint press conference after the meeting held at Armenia’s Foreign Ministry.
"I told you how concerned Belgium is about the tension in Nagorno-Karabakh. I say clearly, the only way out of this historical conflict is through negotiations and compromises, even if it is difficult. I had the opportunity to say today, and I will say the same to my Azerbaijani colleague during my meeting this week.
In 2023, particularly within the framework of the meetings organized by Charles Michel, the arrangements are a positive progress. The leaders of the two countries confirmed the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries, and I welcome the bold statements of your Prime Minister, who took the path of peace," she said.
Lahbib emphasized that it is the duty of every state to protect the rights of its citizens, then added that the rights of the Armenian population and security must be maintained. She promised to remind her Azerbaijani counterpart about it during the upcoming meeting.
