ArmInfo.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of the Republic of Moldova is following with concern the events on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, where in recent days there have been armed clashes that have led to deaths. This is stated in a statement published on the website of the Foreign Ministry of Moldova.
"We express our condolences to the families of the victims, and urge the parties concerned to refrain from using force, to continue efforts to prevent the escalation of the situation and to develop a lasting political solution based on respect for the principles and norms of international law.
The Republic of Moldova stands for a peaceful settlement of the conflict on the basis of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders, "the statement said.
It should be noted that the wording used in the last paragraph of the statement by the Moldovan Foreign Ministry was also used earlier by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, which caused a diplomatic scandal between Yerevan and Kiev.
