The Defender said, "First of all, it is important for us to meet and talk with the people affected by the Azerbaijani attack,"

The defender emphasized the work with international partners and expressed gratitude to Ambassador Andrea Victorin and embassy representatives.

At the end of the meeting, they discussed how they could help people affected by Azerbaijani attacks due to cooperation.
