At the meeting w/@EP_President Roberta Metsola discussed situation resulting from ethnic cleansing & forcible displacement of more than 100 thousand of Armenians from #NagornoKarabakh.
During our first-ever meeting, Armenian Prime Minister @NikolPashinyan and I focused on the security situation in the South Caucasus. Ukraine is interested in the region’s stability and friendly relations with its nations. We also discussed our bilateral cooperation and interregional economic projects.
I spoke to Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan today to express our concern for the protection of the rights and security of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh. The United States will continue its steadfast support for Armenia and its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Saddened by the news of the devastating earthquake in #Türkiye & #Syria that resulted in the loss of so many lives. Our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and we wish a speedy recovery to the injured. Armenia is ready to provide assistance.
💬#Azerbaijan should face consequences for its actions. It should be explained to Azerbaijan that there are certain international rules to which everybody has to abide.
Remarks at the Committee on Foreign Affairs of @Europarl_EN🇪🇺 ➡️https://t.co/Zz1bv6vBte…
I spoke with Prime Minister Pashinyan about steps to restart bilateral peace discussions with Azerbaijan, the only path for a durable peace between the two countries. I also expressed deep concern over the worsening humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Azerbaijan self-proclaimed "eco-activists" have blockaded Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia. The blockade has trapped 120k Armenians since Dec. 12. No one has gone in or out of the city for over a month. This is a time bomb waiting to go off. Take a look.
Yesterday's statement of Aliyev re the blockade of Lachin Corridor was a pure confession of ethnic cleansing implemented on the state level. He said that the road is open for those who don't want to be AZ citizens. They can leave by cars or by buses of Russian peacekeepers.
#AZ calls #Armenians of #NK "our citizens" &, at the same time, shoots at them while they’re doing agricultural work. 3 civilians have been killed and 16 wounded since 11/9/2020 with 54 cases of attempted murder. Is this implementation of Az narrative saying “NK issue is solved”?
In his latest speech, president Aliyev flagrantly violated the agreement on refraining from the threat or use of force, stipulated in Sochi trilateral statement. Oddly enough, he accuses #Armenia of violating mutually agreed statements!
In Prague I reconfirmed again our proposal on unblocking of all regional communications. @Azerbaijan again did not respond positively. I reiterate, @Armenia is ready for unblocking of all regional communications with full respect of our sovereignty and legislation.
Yet another horrific video circulated in social media: Azerbaijani soldiers are arbitrarily executing group of #Armenian POWs on sovereign Armenian territory. Int'l community should strongly condemn & address this war crime & take appropriate measures to halt Az's aggression.
Withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops and deployment of an international observer mission on the @Armenian territories affected by @Azerbaijani occupation and bordering areas is an absolute necessity.
As a result of a new @Azerbaijani attack 3 Armenian soldiers have been killed today within the territory of @Armenia. This is an attack against Armenian independence, sovereignty and democracy. The Azerbaijani invasion must be condemned and stopped. #StandForArmenianDemocracy!
