ArmInfo. Armenia's Ambassador to Romania Sergey Minasyan and Mr Traian Lauren?iu Hristea, Secretary of State for Global Affairs and Diplomatic Strategies of Romania, at their meeting on February 7, highlighted the importance of a EU monitoring mission as a factor contributing to regional peace and stability.
The sides voiced hope that energy interests will not be considered superior to the fundamental human rights and panhuman values in the South Caucasus.
Ambassador Minasyan informed Mr Hristea of the details of the humanitarian crisis caused by the illegal blocking of the Berdzor (Lachin) corridor by Azerbaijan, emphasizing that Azerbaijan's actions are a gross violation of the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020 and the norms of international humanitarian law and are aimed at ethnic cleansing of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The parties also discussed issues related to the further expansion of cooperation established both at the Armenian-Romanian bilateral and multilateral platforms.
