ArmInfo. During a telephone conversation with his Italian counterpart Luigi Di Maio, Armenian Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan expressed hope that efforts will be made on both sides to enrich the Armenian-Italian bilateral agenda and increase the effectiveness of interaction.
As ArmInfo was told in the press service of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, the interlocutors discussed the situation resulting from the Azerbaijani aggression against Artsakh and regional processes. The head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry severely condemned the facts of inhuman treatment of prisoners by the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan.
Referring to Turkey's expansionist aspirations and policy to destabilize the situation in neighboring regions, Ayvazyan noted that Ankara took a direct part in the war both in the form of unconditional military- political support for Baku and in the form of the transfer of foreign militants from the Middle East to the conflict zone.
In the context of the conflict settlement, Ayvazyan reiterated that the priority for Armenia remains the realization of the rights of the people of Karabakh, including the full and fair realization of the right to self- determination.
The sides mutually indicated the importance of resolving issues of the peace process, exclusively within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmanship.
