The issue of Araik Ghazaryan, an Armenian soldier who crossed the border of Azerbaijan, remains quite worrying. Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan said this in a conversation with journalists after the government session today.

“At the moment, I have nothing new to say in the sense that the Red Cross, the Ministry of Defense, and other directly related structures are involved in this matter. The issue requires a systematic approach,” he said.

Mnatsakanyan noted that his meetings with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan are continuing. “The negotiation process has not stopped. Operational communication with Azerbaijan is quite stable,” said Mnatsakanyan.
