Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan has commented on official Baku’s non-participation in an event held in Yerevan.
Globalinfo.az reports that during a briefing, a journalist asked about the reason why representatives of Azerbaijan did not attend the event and whether this pointed to tension in relations between the two countries.
Responding to the question, Mirzoyan said nothing new had happened that could be assessed as tension in relations.
“I don’t know, call and ask them yourselves. There is nothing new that could be interpreted as tension in relations and that would give grounds for Azerbaijan’s participation or non-participation in the event. We sent an invitation. By the way, this is a United Nations event. Even the question of whether to invite them or not is of a very formal nature. Azerbaijan is a full member of the UN, and this is also its event. They could have easily taken part,” the minister stressed.
