Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan held a meeting with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, Josep Borrell, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

During their discussion, both officials stressed that Azerbaijan's actions in Nagorno-Karabakh are in direct contradiction to the fundamental norms of international law and are clearly designed to deprive the people of Nagorno-Karabakh of their homeland.

Ararat Mirzoyan expressed his view on the matter in his microblog, stating, 'International partners, including EU, should take urgent action to prevent.'
