On September 5, Ararat Mirzoyan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, had a telephone conversation with Analena Baerbock, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Press Office of the Armenian Foreign Ministry reported.

"Referring to the actions of the armed forces of Azerbaijan against the sovereign territory of Armenia on September 1, Minister Mirzoyan emphasized that it was another manifestation of Azerbaijan's continuous aggressive behavior. Minister Mirzoyan added that with its actions, Azerbaijan is trying to destabilize the situation in the South Caucasus, which the international community should condemn," the report added.

"Parallel to this, the daily worsening humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh and its consequences for the population of Nagorno-Karabakh, especially for vulnerable groups, and the urgency of overcoming the crisis were emphasized on both sides. Minister Mirzoyan reiterated Armenia’s position regarding the lifting of the blockade of the Lachin corridor in accordance with the Orders of the International Court of Justice and emphasized the need for international actors, including the EU, to take clear steps in that direction," the information added.

"Highly appreciating the targeted appeals made by the partners so far, Minister Mirzoyan emphasized that, unfortunately, they are not enough to register a positive change on the ground, to lift the factual blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh and to return Azerbaijan to a constructive track," the ministry noted.

Possible steps to advance the bilateral cooperation agenda between Armenia and Germany were also discussed.
