Details: Zelenskyy said that during the conversation, the presidents confirmed their commitment to the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of their states, and discussed regional security, current challenges and formats of cooperation.
Background:
- On 19 September, Azerbaijan launched an offensive against unrecognised Nagorno-Karabakh to regain control of the territory, sending tanks and troops under the cover of heavy artillery. Karabakh Armenian leaders were forced to surrender after almost 24 hours of fierce fighting.
- Azerbaijani security forces detained Arkady Gukasyan, Bako Sahakyan and Arayik Harutyunyan, the former so-called presidents of the unrecognised Armenian republic in Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as David Ishkhanyan, the former so-called head of parliament.
