Armenia with regard to deliveries of humanitarian aid were "unsettling" in a post on
Facebook on Saturday.
“Hungary stands on the side of peace and urges an end to the suffering of people who have
lived through a long war. I informed both of my counterparts, Jeyhun Bayramov, the Azeri
foreign minister, and Ararat Mirzoyan, the Armenian foreign minister, by phone on that
position yesterday evening,” he said.
“Hungary will always take a position in support of peaceful resolution, territorial integrity and
respect for sovereignty. We welcomed the peace agreement and hope that its
implementation will save many, many people from suffering,” he added.
Szijjarto acknowledged the roles of international organisations, especially the Red Cross, in
assisting in the situation.
