The minister emphasized that Azerbaijan has established a border crossing and control point at the end of the Lachin road on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border in order to suppress the transportation of manpower, ammunition, mines, as well as other military equipment for illegal Armenian formations, foreign citizens’ unlawful visits, intensive looting of Azerbaijani natural resources and other unlawful activities.

Defense Minister Szalay-Bobrovniczky emphasized Hungary’s support of the Trilateral Statement of November 10, 2020 and readiness to contribute to the achievement of sustainable peace in the region.

During the meeting, the importance of mutual visits in terms of expanding cooperation in the military, military-technical, military-educational fields and exchanging experience was emphasized. They also exchanged views on the military and political situation in the region, as well as the prospects for cooperation.
