Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan addressed a letter to the UN Secretary General António Guterres reiterating Armenia's adherence to the global ceasefire call, the press department at the foreign ministry reported.

Underscoring the importance of joint actions in the fight against COVID-19, the Minister’s letter reads: “International assistance is equally important to people made vulnerable as a result of conflicts.

The assistance and access of the United Nations specialized agencies including and especially of the World Health Organization to the people residing in the conflict-affected areas is essential in this regard. Armenia is ready to provide all necessary conditions for unimpeded work of the relevant UN bodies in a status neutral manner.”

“This pandemic is an overwhelming challenge to humanity, while joint efforts to overcome the virus can serve as a new beginning for reinvigorating multilateralism and collective endeavor for a world without wars, hostility and exclusion. Confidence building measures aimed at preventing, mitigating and managing disasters should be viewed as an opportunity in these challenging times for all people without exception, including parties to the conflict,” reads the letter of Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan.
