PanARMENIAN.Net - Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan has briefed Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland on the Armenian side’s position regarding the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Meeting the Secretary General on the sidelines of the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly, Mnatsakanyan unveiled the Armenian side’s priorities in the issue, stressing the need for creating a corresponding atmosphere, adhering to the ceasefire agreements and abandoning bellicose rhetoric to push the negotiations forward.
