Armenian, Azerbaijani foreign ministers to meet June 20 in Washington: MFA statement

Armenian foreign minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan and Azerbaijani foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov will meet on June 20 in Washington under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, Armenia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry press services reported.

"At the same time 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 unfavourable 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.,” the statement of the MFA runs.
