ArmInfo. Today Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan held a telephone conversation with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.
According to the RA MFA, the minister provided his interlocutor with detailed information on the state of the civilian population of Artsakh, damage to civilian infrastructure, the use of weapons by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces prohibited by international conventions, and a large number of deported as a result of atrocities. The minister also drew the interlocutor's attention to the numerous facts of torture of the civilian population of Artsakh, torture of captured prisoners of war, humiliating treatment and murder.
Referring to the agreement on the establishment of a humanitarian truce in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone on October 17 and the resulting situation, the Foreign Minister told the High Representative that Azerbaijan, once again demonstrating its treacherous position, violating the agreement, does not abandon the policy of military settlement and refuses to end its military aggression against Artsakh.
The RA Foreign Minister noted that this aggression of the Azerbaijani side is taking place in conditions of direct intervention by Turkey, which is manifested in the introduction of the latter into the region by armed terrorists, which poses a serious threat to regional and international security.
Zohrab Mnatsakanyan expressed deep concern over the vague position expressed by some members of the international community, stressing that such a policy is viewed by Azerbaijan as tolerance for the continuation of Azerbaijani aggression, accompanied by violations of international law.
The interlocutors stressed the need to implement the ceasefire agreements.
