🇦🇲 RA Foreign Minister gave an interview to the Egyptian "AlQahera News" media
🔸 One of the proposals of the Armenian side is the clarification of the criteria for the demarcation of the state border.
🔸 The next step is the removal of armed forces from the state border and the creation of a demilitarized zone along the border. Certainly, as an important component, there should be an international mechanism that will address the rights and security issues of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh.
🔸 Unfortunately, in response to our efforts, we are witnessing not only a dismissive and superstitious approach by Azerbaijan during the negotiations, but also aggressive actions. [Ararat Mirzoyan]
