Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan held a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in New York on the sidelines of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly on Thursday.

The government’s readout of the meeting said Pashinyan touched on Azerbaijan’s large-scale aggression against the sovereign territory of Armenia on September 13, emphasizing that 36 settlements were targeted by Azerbaijani troops, as a result of which the Armenian side also suffered casualties and wounded among civilians.

Nikol Pashinyan emphasized the importance of the international community's condemnation of the Azerbaijani actions and the immediate withdrawal of Azerbaijani forces from Armenia’s sovereign territory.

“The Secretary General of NATO noted that he is extremely concerned about the events that took place on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Jens Stoltenberg emphasized the need for the settlement of regional problems through negotiations and making consistent efforts in that direction, including with the support of international partners,” the statement said.

At the meeting, the sides exchanged views on various issues of mutual interest.
