Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan has raised the issue of Armenian de- tainees held in Baku, underscoring ongoing humanitarian concerns despite recent progress toward peace with Azerbaijan. Addressing the high-level segment of the UN Human Rights Council, Mir- zoyan noted that after decades of violent conflict, Armenia and Azerbaijan have taken decisive steps toward establishing long-term peace, including agreements reached at last year’s Peace Summit in Washington. He emphasized that the pro- cess has opened new prospects for regional trade, connectivity and people-to- people contacts. At the same time, the minister stressed that key humanitarian issues remain unresolved. In particular, he pointed to the continued detention of 19 Armenians in Baku, as well as the need to clarify the fate of missing persons and cases of enforced disappearances. Mirzoyan said Armenia has chosen the “difficult path of reconciliation,” seeking to move beyond government-level agreements by fostering dialogue and trust between societies, including among those directly affected by the conflict. He also warned that reconciliation efforts are being complicated by the per- sistence of painful legacies of the past and the dissemination of distorted histori- cal narratives. Nevertheless, Armenia remains firmly committed to advancing peace, with Mirzoyan expressing confidence that further institutionalization of agreements will help create conditions for addressing outstanding humanitarian issues and securing long-term stability in the region.
