Regional and international developments were at the core of the discussionsbetween the foreign ministers of Armenia and Norway, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan told during a press conference with his Norwegian counterpart Anniken Huitfeldt.
"I presented the details of the work on the development of the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace treaty, our position on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to my colleague.
We discussed the situation created after the latest Azerbaijani aggression towards the sovereign territory of Armenia. We appreciate the specific position of Norway in the support of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Armenia, as well as on the issue of extrajudicial killings of Armenian prisoners of war by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.
In this context, we are hopeful that Norway, as a pioneer in the protection of democracy and human rights, will continue to adhere to its adopted position", Mirzoyan said.
In the context of the prevention of new aggressions by Azerbaijan, Mirzoyan emphasized the introduction of international mechanisms for monitoring and controlling the border situation and the support of international partners, including Norway.
"I reaffirmed the imperative of the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani armed forces from the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, the repatriation of the Armenian prisoners of war illegally held in Azerbaijan, and the unconditional maintenance of the ceasefire regime, emphasizing once again the inadmissibility of solving problems through the use of force or the threat of using force," Mirzoyan stressed.
