Armenia – June 2 2022

After the May 22 meeting, we continued to work with Brussels. The statements that are made and do not correspond to what was discussed in Brussels, we discuss them with our partners. Secretary of the Security Council, Armen Grigoryan, stated this during a press briefing Thursday at the government of Armenia.

Answering the question about the disagreements between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the ongoing incidents on the border of the two countries, the secretary of the Security Council said: "Any tension at the border has a negative impact on all processes. This is the reason why before the [border] delimitation and demarcation process begins, we have proposed to take the troops out in the mirror to ensure stability at the border. Border security remains on the agenda. We will discuss the issue, and we hope to find solutions to not allow tensions at the border.

As for the disagreements, I believe that the public statements of the Armenian side correspond to what was discussed in Brussels and the process. In this matter, we strive to be as transparent as possible and inform the public what has been discussed—nothing else is reported. Naturally, negotiations are underway also because there are disagreements. We hope that it will be possible to overcome those disagreements through negotiations."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
