WASHINGTON – The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan and Elmar Mamadyarov, met on June 20 in Washington D.C. under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, following a January meeting in Paris and one in Moscow in April.
Armenia’s Foreign Ministry on June 14 announced that “Azerbaijan’s continuous deplorable violations of ceasefire and provocative actions in recent days, which caused human irreversible losses and led to a serious escalation of the situation on the Line of Contact, have created an unfavorable environment before the meeting. The actions of Azerbaijan, which are marked by the use of force and threat of use of force, hinder the establishment of an environment conducive to peace and thus undermine the advancement of the peace process.”
The current situation defines the priorities of the agenda of the upcoming meeting in Washington D.C.
