Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan to the Croatian officials  the “Crossroads of Peace” initiative developed by the Government of the Republic of Armenia.

Ararat Mirzoyan briefed on the latest developments and current situation in the South Caucasus as well.

Minister Mirzoyan underscored Armenia’s efforts to establish stability and peace in the region and the vision based on well-known principles, noting that the aggressive rhetoric coming from the highest level in Azerbaijan does not indicate mutual commitment.

Touching upon the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan, Minister Mirzoyan stressed that despite the targeted messages from the Republic of Armenia and the international community, including various parliaments, it was not possible to prevent the forced displacement of more than 100.000 Armenians, which once again emphasized the importance for concrete actions to deter the aggressive policy.

The interlocutors also touched upon the current cooperation within the framework of the Armenia-EU partnership. Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan highlighted the steps taken by the Government of Armenia towards democratic reforms, and the prospects of cooperation with the EU in this regard for the benefit of the well-being of Armenian citizens.
