UN mechanisms insufficient to prevent conflicts worldwide - FM Mirzoyan

All the mechanisms existing in the United Nations organization structure and also all the others even existing beyond the UN structures are not sufficient and are not guaranteeing us and helping us to prevent or manage or stop the conflicts going on here and there on the earth, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, in an interview with India’s WION.
According to Mirzoyan, ''it is becoming more and more obvious that the United Nations system needs some reforms''.
“Armenia is very much focused on peace building. Of course, peace building - first of all for Armenia, for South Caucasus, for our neighbors. But also, we think that peace is the only solution for all the other countries in the world as well. And here I would like to separate and focus on two separate dimensions. First of all, the humanitarian dimension. I mean, the sufferings of human beings, be it in Armenia, be it in Ukraine, be it in Syria, wherever you can mention, is unacceptable,’’ said Mirzoyan.
According to Mirzoyan, gross violations of human rights, be it anywhere in the world, are unacceptable.
“We live in the 21st century and unfortunately, we continuously see how people are subjected to massacres, for instance, or how families see the deaths of their family members because of conflicts, is odd. I hope you agree. And the second layer, for Armenia, for the interests of Armenia, we are very much interested in peace in Ukraine, in Syria, the Middle East. Peace is the only way which can allow nations to continue cooperation, to deepen their collaboration, to trade with each other, and to benefit from each other,’’ said Mirzoyan.
