Speaking on Tuesday in Yerevan, the Armenian capital, following a meeting with his Armenian counterpart Vahagn Khachaturian, Duda said: “If we were needed in support of stabilizing the situation, we are ready. “
The two South Caucasus republics have fought two wars in the last three decades over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but which until recently had 120,000 inhabitants who were predominantly ethnic Armenians.
The region first broke away from Azerbaijan in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Tensions between Baku and Yerevan escalated to an all-time high in September last year, when Azerbaijan forcefully reclaimed the mountainous region, causing the displacement of around 100,000 Armenians.
Duda said that his talks with Khachaturian also took in economic cooperation between Poland and Armenia.
“We talked about the development of cooperation in the field of new technologies, in the field of climate protection, green energy,” he added.
Thanking Khachaturian for his invitation to Yerevan, Duda said: “I welcome this visit because Poland will soon take over the presidency of the Council of the EU and the issue of bringing Armenia, a great nation with a European state history of many thousands of years, closer to the European community is of great importance.”
