On 20 September 2023, Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov held a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud within the framework of his participation in the high-level week of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
During the meeting, the sides exchanged views on political, economic, energy security, humanitarian and a number of other issues on the agenda of bilateral cooperation, and emphasized the importance of conducting mutual high-level visits.
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov provided information about the latest developments in the region, and stated that Armenia’s failure to withdraw its armed forces from the territory of our country contrary to its obligations after the 44-day Patriotic War is the main threat to peace and security in the region.
He stated that on 19 September, representatives of the so-called regime in the Garabagh Economic Region of Azerbaijan resorted to a number of large-scale military provocations and terrorist attacks, and that local anti-terror measures were carried out in the region in order to prevent these provocations, as well as to ensure the implementation of the provisions of the Trilateral Statement, the withdrawal of remnants of the Armenian armed forces from our territories, and the restoration of the constitutional order of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
It was stated that the target of the measures carried out was exclusively illegal military formations and military infrastructure, which are the main source of threat to peace and security in the region.
During the meeting, the sides also exchanged views on other issues of mutual interest.
