The RA Minister of Defence presented to the guests the situation in the region after the war unleashed by Azerbaijan against Artsakh, as well as the implementation of the provisions of the joint statement of November 9. Vagharshak Harutyunyan stressed that Azerbaijan does not comply with the provisions of paragraph 8 of the statement on the return of prisoners of war and other detained persons and uses this process for political purposes to exert additional pressure on Armenia.

In his turn, Toivo Klaar noted that the European Union supports the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and is ready to contribute to the intensification of negotiations in this format.

During the meeting, the sides also touched upon regional security issues.
