ArmInfo. On February 28, within the framework of the High-level session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan met  with UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.

As the press service of the RA MFA reports, the interlocutors  commended the dialogue established between Armenia and the UN High  Commissioner for Refugees. Minister Mirzoyan noted that as a country  directly affected by enforced displacement, Armenia has always  supported the efforts of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees  towards protecting the rights of victims of enforced displacement.  

The humanitarian issues created in Nagorno-Karabakh after the 44-day  war were touched upon. Minister Mirzoyan drew his colleague's  attention to the need for the creation of conditions for the  repatriation, security and protection of the rights of the Armenians  of Artsakh who were forcibly displaced from their residences due to  the Azerbaijani aggression.  

The Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan particularly stressed  the importance of implementing humanitarian missions by international  organisations in Artsakh, including the UN High Commissioner for  Refugees, considering unacceptable the politicisation of this issue  by Azerbaijan and the creation of artificial obstacles.
