Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan on Monday held a phone conversation with UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

During the phone conversation, the recent developments in the region were discussed, the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in its readout.

“Ararat Mirzoyan briefed his interlocutor on the details of the humanitarian crisis unfolded in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of the blockade of Lachin Corridor, particularly stressing the need for a targeted response and efficient steps by international institutions, particularly, the United Nations. Minister Mirzoyan underlined that Azerbaijan grossly violates the provisions of the November 9 trilateral statement and the principles of international humanitarian law,” the statement said.

“Under these circumstances, the Armenian side highlighted the importance of sending a fact-finding mission to Nagorno-Karabakh and Lachin Corridor, as well as ensuring unhindered humanitarian access to Nagorno-Karabakh for relevant UN bodies,” it added.
