ArmInfo. Security and the status of Artsakh are inextricably linked with each other. The press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Anna Naghdalyan stated this at a press conference.
She again recalled the position of Armenia that negotiations should continue within the OSCE Minsk Group, exclusively by peaceful means, and the priority is the issues of security and the status of NKR, as well as the decisive voice of Stepanakert in establishing a lasting peace. According to her, the heads of the foreign affairs agencies agreed to maintain the dynamics of the meetings.
Commenting on the recent statement of the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan about the meeting with the Armenian counterpart in Milan, Naghdalyan reiterated that Zohrab Mnatsakanyan said about everything on December 6 right after the meeting: "It was about reaching mutual understanding about continuing the dynamics of meetings and agreeing on the text of the five-sided statement. "It's good that something similar was heard from Azerbaijan for the first time," Naghdalyan notes.
As for the decision of the Azerbaijani authorities to replace the army units in the Ghazakh and Astafa sections with border units, the Foreign Ministry believes that it is too early to assess.
