Taking the opportunity, Serzh Sargsyan thanked the Polish President for the warm words addressed to the Armenian community on this occasion and highly appreciated the friendly attitude of the Polish people toward the Armenian people.

The heads of the two countries touched upon the work which was carried out to strengthen the Armenian-Polish ties on bilateral and multilateral levels, in this context highlighting the high-level contacts and the new quality of political dialogue.

The sides touched upon the Karabakh conflict settlement process. President Duda emphasized that Poland's position on the Karabakh conflict settlement has not changed, and Poland is confident that the problem should be settled solely peacefully on the basis of international law.
