2022-02-09 17:37:00 Azerbaijan constantly says that they have nearly 4000 missing persons after the first Karabakh war. I want to state that the Armenian side also has missing persons, 777 according to official data. An attempt is made to present that the Armenian side has not taken concrete actions also in this matter. I want to inform that over the past year bodies of 108 persons missing after the first war have been handed to the Azerbaijani side. We are going to transfer 2 more bodies in coming days.

2022-02-09 15:06:58 Of course, there is tension on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. I was there, I saw what was happening there. But, in fact, there is no border as such, there is a line of contact. From time to time there are shots. It shouldn’t be like that…There is cautious optimism that a whole era of war is ending and another era is beginning. I may be wrong in terms of such optimism, but in any case, we should welcome the steps that are being taken now to establish peace.

2022-02-08 12:41:44 We are convinced that the geopolitical analysis of the President of Belarus pursues the goal of serving, first of all, its own internal political agenda and has nothing to do with Armenia and its foreign policy. [RA MFA spokesperson] Open / Comment

2022-02-08 11:34:09 Yesterday, Mr Lukashenko, the President of Belarus, made unacceptable and inappropriate statements for the head of a state, in particular, saying things like "who needs Armenia" and so on, in an interview with Solovyov. I want to note that those assessments are, in fact, reprehensible. The head of our partner country has no right to express such thoughts in relation to its partner country, and I want to remind who needed Armenia during the recent events in Kazakhstan, and I'm sure that Mr Lukashenko is well aware of who needed and who needs the Republic of Armenia.
