UN Secretary-General concerns over tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan
The UN secretary-general expressed his concern over the current tensions along Armenian-Azerbaijani border, stressing the need for a settlement mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.
President Sargsyan informed Ban Ki-moon about the current stage of the conflict and especially about the tensions at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
The interlocutors exchanged views on present-day international issues, and on worrisome events occurring in the world – new conflicts, increasing terrorism and extremism, the growing tensions in the Near and Middle East. Ban Ki-moon welcomed and thanked our country for the steps to provide refugees from northern Iraq and Syria with safe haven in Armenia.
