Minister Mirzoyan noted that Azerbaijan’s blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh, the accumulation of Azerbaijani troops along the line of contact with Nagorno-Karabakh and near the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border, are also aimed at obstructing the efforts of the Armenian side to establish peace and stability in the region. Touching upon Azerbaijan’s encroachments on the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia, the need for the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani armed forces from the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia and the introduction of de-escalation mechanisms was emphasised.
