Baku not yet agreed to Aliyev-Pashinian meeting with Macron and Scholz - Foreign Ministry

Baku/11.05.23/Turan: The Azerbaijani side has confirmed its participation in the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders with the participation of EU Council President Charles Michel, scheduled for 14 May in Brussels. At the same time, Baku has not yet given its final consent for the June 1 meeting in Kishinev with the French and German leaders. This was stated by Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Aikhan Hajizade on May 11.

He recalled that several meetings between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan were held last year in Brussels under the mediation of Charles Michel.

"In December it was the Armenian side that refused to attend a meeting in the same format in Brussels.

A meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders with the participation of the French President and the German Chancellor was proposed within the framework of the regular meeting of the European political community in Kishinev.

Azerbaijan stated that the participation in the informal meeting in Kishinev is possible if the Brussels format is preserved, so the final agreement on the Kishinev meeting has not yet been given, since the format of that meeting has not been disclosed in detail," Hajizadeh said. -06В-
