“We have repeatedly stated in the past that in the course of negotiations with Azerbaijan, Armenia seeks to ensure the security and rights of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, including the establishment of an international mechanism to resolve these issues. Attempts to organize meetings between representatives of Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh in third countries, which were rejected by Nagorno-Karabakh, were aimed at the same.
