Critical meeting between Azerbaijan and Armenia

The President of the Council of the European Union (EU), Charles Michel, announced that the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia will meet in Brussels at the end of October.

Speaking to reporters at the entrance to the informal EU leaders’ summit in Granada, Spain, Michel said he had invited Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev and Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to Brussels. Michel stated that the leaders responded positively to the invitation and announced that a tripartite meeting will be held in Brussels at the end of the month.

Yesterday, on the sidelines of the European Political Community (AST) meeting, the leaders of the EU Council, Armenia, France and Germany met in Grenada and then emphasized their support for the normalization process in their joint statement.

At the meeting, which Aliyev did not attend, the leaders stressed the need to urgently advance work on border delineation, the mutual return of detainees, those whose fate is unknown, and progress on demining files. . (AA)
