Armenian FM, OAS chief strongly condemn actions against Artsakh in phone call
Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan on Thursday held a phone conversation with Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary General Luis Almagro, the Foreign Ministry’s press service reported.
The interlocutors discussed the situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) conflict zone. Mnatsakanyan presented the agreements on cessation of hostilities set in the statement adopted at the ministerial level on October 10, as well as Azerbaijan's steps to derogate from them. According to the minister, Azerbaijan, by carrying out large-scale aggression against the people of Artsakh, deliberately targeting the civilian population and vital infrastructure, killing civilians under its control, demonstrates its real goal of resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by military means and physically annihilating the people of Artsakh.
Mnatsakanyan expressed his gratitude to the OAS chief for the consistent stance of the organization on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
Both sides strongly condemned Azerbaijan's actions aimed at infringing the right of the people of Artsakh to self-determination and the right to life by involving extra-regional forces and foreign terrorist fighters.
