Armenian FM: Azerbaijan`s maximalist rhetoric and destructive steps  do not contribute to implementation of peace agenda in region

ArmInfo.Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, at a meeting with Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Secretary General Martin Chungong, pointed out the important role of parliamentary diplomacy.

According to the press service of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, the  interlocutors discussed the opportunities provided through active  interaction and joint initiatives, for which the holding of the 10th  Global Young Parliamentarians Conference of the Inter-Parliamentary  Union in Yerevan can provide a good environment.

It was emphasized that in the context of growing instability in  various parts of the world, parliamentary circles can play an  important role in raising voices about violations of international  law, promoting public debate on just solutions and thereby  contributing to peace efforts.

In this context, an exchange of views on issues of security and  stability in the South Caucasus took place.  Mirzoyan presented in  detail to the Secretary General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union  Armenia's vision for ensuring stability in the region, including key  principles in the process of regulating Armenian- Azerbaijani  relations.

The importance of territorial integrity, indivisibility of borders  and unambiguous respect for sovereignty was emphasized. Mirzoyan  emphasized Armenia's clear intention and commitment in this matter,  adding that, on the other hand, Azerbaijan's maximalist rhetoric and  destructive steps are not conducive to the implementation of the  peace agenda in the region.
