On December 15, RA Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan met with the UN Secretary-General for Political and Peacekeeping Affairs, Rosemary DiCarlo, in New York. During the meeting, Minister Mirzoyan referred to the latest developments in the normalization of Armenia-Azerbaijan relations resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia noted that Azerbaijan's fanatical ambitions, aggressions against the territorial integrity of Armenia, the ongoing occupation of the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia, and argumentative and anti-Armenian statements create an unstable situation in the region, full of security and humanitarian challenges. Minister Mirzoyan also emphasized the need to repatriate Armenian prisoners of war and the inadmissibility of Azerbaijan's political manipulation of the issue.
The Armenian side presented the situation created by Azerbaijan's blocking of the Lachin Corridor and gas supply disruption to Nagorno Karabakh, emphasizing the danger of a humanitarian crisis. It stresses the importance of an adequate and targeted response by the international structures, particularly the relevant UN bodies, as well as the implementation of practical steps to exclude a possible humanitarian disaster.
