On March 2, Foreign Minister Ara Aivazian had a phone conversation with Mark Lowcock, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Emergency Relief Coordinator.

The Foreign Minister of Armenia comprehensively briefed Under-Secretary Lowcock on the humanitarian and socio-economic issues that the Armenians of Artsakh encounter. According to Minister Aivazian, tens of thousands of Armenians of Artsakh have been forced to flee their homes as a result of the large-scale war unleashed by Azerbaijan against Artsakh, and currently, the priority is to undertake steps aimed at restoring the rights of the latter, and ensuring their dignified and safe return.

During the conversation, sides discussed the provision of humanitarian assistance to the Armenians of Artsakh. In this regard, the interlocutors agreed that appropriate conditions should be created to ensure the presence of international organizations in Artsakh, including the UN specialized bodies, and considered unacceptable the politicization of the implementation of this humanitarian function and the creation of artificial obstacles for that purpose.

In this context, sides also exchanged views on the possibilities of providing humanitarian aid to the people of Artsakh.
