The Armenian community in Switzerland met with Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis on Friday. They welcomed the humanitarian aid provided by Switzerland, but called for a clear condemnation of Azerbaijan's attack on the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The Armenian delegation welcomed the Swiss government's commitment to providing humanitarian aid to the refugees in Nagorno-Karabakh, but urged the Swiss government to label the Azerbaijani attack as a "crime against humanity" and to condemn the state for the subsequent "ethnic cleansing". The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA) reiterated its priorities: ceasefire, humanitarian access to Nagorno-Karabakh, and return to the negotiating table.
