Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the following statement regarding the U.S. drone strike earlier today that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad. 

We are seriously concerned about the recent incidents in Baghdad which led to human loses as well. They risk further undermining the regional security and destabilizing the situation in the Middle East and beyond. Armenia calls for the de-escalation of situation exclusively through peaceful means.

Armenia will continue to closely cooperate with all its partners aimed at ensuring regional stability and security.
