On May 3 the trilateral meeting between Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan, National Security Advisor of the US President Jake Sullivan and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov took place, ARMENPRESS was informed from MFA Armenia.

Issues related to regional security and stability, the process of normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan were discussed.

Ararat Mirzoyan noted that the continuous aggressive policy of Azerbaijan towards Nagorno Karabakh, the occupation of the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia do not contribute to the efforts aimed at establishing stability in the region. Minister Mirzoyan stressed that Azerbaijan's actions against the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, hate speech expressed at the highest level and open threats of use of force testify to Azerbaijan's intention and real threat to subject Nagorno-Karabakh to ethnic cleansing.

It was emphasized that the withdrawal of the troops, the border delimitation between the two countries based on the Alma-Ata Declaration, as well as the addressing of the issues of rights and security of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh within the mechanism of internationally guaranteed dialogue are key to a comprehensive settlement and establishing long-term stability in the region.

“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
