At a government meeting, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced a planned meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on July 15 in Brussels.
“July 15, Saturday, I am scheduled to meet in Brussels with European Council President Charles Michel and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. I confirmed my participation. I hope that during the meeting we will record progress in the negotiations around the peace treaty,” said Pashinyan (quote according to TASS).
Last time Pashinyan and Aliyev carried out meeting in Brussels on 14 May. Michel also took part in the negotiations to resolve the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh.
May 25 Pashinyan and Aliyev through the mediation of Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed in the Kremlin relations between the two countries, but did not adopt a joint statement on the day. At the same time, as Aliyev noted, after Armenia’s statements on the recognition of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, the issue of agreeing on the points of the peace treaty will go “much easier.”
Commenting on the meeting, press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov declaredthat the signing of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan is possible in the foreseeable future due to changing circumstances. He noted that the heads of state have a “common point of view” on how to resolve the situation.
The aggravation of the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh has been dragging on since September 2020, when hostilities began in the region between the military of Armenia and Azerbaijan. As a result, a tripartite statement was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Hostilities have completely ceased in the conflict zone, and Russian peacekeepers have also been deployed along the line of contact and in the Lachin corridor.
The situation around Nagorno-Karabakh worsened again in 2022, when the State Border Guard Service of Azerbaijan installed a checkpoint in the Lachin corridor, on the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia.
