Both sides highlighted the importance of settling existing conflicts exclusively through negotiations and dialogue.

In the context of the security situation in the South Caucasus and current challenges, Minister Mirzoyan underlined that the speculations of the religious factor by Azerbaijan, as well as its groundless attempts to disrupt the traditionally warm relations between Armenia and the Armenian people on one side and the Arab world on the other, are unacceptable.

Touching upon the blockade of the Lachin corridor by Azerbaijan, Minister Mirzoyan stressed the imperative of resolving the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and unblocking the corridor in accordance with the provisions of the 2020 November 9 Statement.
