But we have to also implement the agreements of Vienna and St. Petersburg. The implementation of those agreements will ensure larger security in the region”, Mayilyan said.

Artsakh’s FM noted that they did not discuss the recent statement of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs over Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement.
