The minister informed in detail about the current situation in the region after local anti-terrorist activities carried out by Azerbaijan in the Karabakh region.

It was emphasized that the statements of the Armenian side about the alleged “ethnic cleansing” in the region do not correspond to reality, and Azerbaijan is taking measures to reintegrate the Armenian population of Karabakh.
