Minister Mirzoyan underlined that the actions of the Azerbaijani side pursue the goal of subjecting the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh to ethnic cleansing, in this context highlighting the importance of clear calls and targeted steps of the international community.

During the phone conversation, the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Luxembourg touched upon the perspectives of the development of both bilateral and Armenia-EU relations.
