YEREVAN, OCTOBER 2, ARMENPRESS. Armenia’s foreign ministry issued a statement over the joint call of the leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries.

Armenpress presents the MFA’s statement:

“We welcome the fact that the Minsk Group Co-Chairs at the level of their leaders reacted to the use of force in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone by way of strong condemnation.

Armenia has been consistently rejecting and condemning the threat or use of force by Azerbaijan and the direct involvement of Turkey in the hostilities against Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. The aggressive joint actions of Azerbaijan and Turkey and the use of foreign terrorist fighters have been undermining regional security and peace, significantly raising the risks of a full-fledged war. This aggression against Nagorno Karabakh must immediately cease.

Armenia remains committed to the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. While this aggression against Nagorno Karabakh will continue to receive our strong and resolute response, we stand ready to engage with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries to re-establish a ceasefire regime based on the 1994-1995 agreements”.
