RA Foreign Minister: Armenia has not submitted applications for  participation in COP 29

ArmInfo.Official Yerevan has not submitted applications for  participation in the COP 29  climate forum in Baku. This was stated by RA Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan during the government hour in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on November 13, in response to comments made by  Hikmet Hajiyev, the Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan, who claimed that Armenia had registered for the forum, but none of its representatives attended.

As Mirzoyan noted, none of the Armenian officials had submitted  applications. However, as the head of the Foreign Ministry  emphasized, it is possible for representatives of civil society to  have done so. "If we are referring to representatives of civil  society, then I am not aware of this. Armenia is a democratic country  that cannot interfere with the management of civil society  organizations in any manner," Ararat Mirzoyan emphasized.  It should  be noted that earlier, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov  called Armenia's non- participation in the COP-29 climate summit in  Baku a "missed opportunity."
