On November 18, Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan held a phone conversation with the Foreign Minister of Greece Nikos Dendias.

Ararat Mirzoyan presented in detail to Nikos Dendias the situation resulting from the military operations unleashed by the armed forces of Azerbaijan against the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia.

Minister Mirzoyan underlined that the recent Azerbaijani aggression was preceded by the encroachments and threats of use of force by the top leadership of Azerbaijan against the territorial integrity of Armenia for months, including by the illegal claims of “opening a corridor”, as well as the Armenophobic and warmongering rhetoric.

The FM of Armenia also stressed the role of a proper and targeted response to the above-mentioned behavior and actions of Azerbaijan aimed at restraining the further provocations of the Azerbaijani side, as well as de-escalating the situation.

The interlocutors also discussed a number of issues of mutual interest in regional security, exchanged views on the process of peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
