Baku/22.09.22/Turan: At the upcoming session of the European Political Community in Prague, a meeting of the leaders of Turkey and Armenia is possible. This was stated to journalists by Turkish President Erdogan on September 22 during a briefing in New York.
“If we decide to go to the Czech Republic, then presumably Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will also be there. The Armenian side has previously spoken about a possible meeting on this platform. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to discuss all issues there.
Of course, we will also have certain initiatives in the Caucasus. At the moment it is still in the planning stage. I will discuss these issues with my brother Ilham Aliyev and, depending on this, we will take steps,” Erdogan said.
*Note that the first meeting of the European Political Community will be held in Prague on October 6 before the informal EU summit scheduled for October 6-7.
The meeting will be attended by the leaders of the EU states and countries invited to the community. Its main purpose will be to hold a political discussion on strategic issues of common interest to the European continent.
