Two Armenian Opposition Leaders Arrive in Baku
The Hyatt Regency hotel in Baku opened a conference on the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict and the prospects for its settlement. The event is held under the patronage of the authorities, with the participation of pro-government NGOs.
Holding such conferences in itself is not new, but for the first time the authorities have invited representatives of Armenians to Azerbaijan - Vahe Avetyan and Vahan Martirosyan. Last year, Martirosyan asked for political asylum in Azerbaijan, and Avetyan was not allowed to Baku when he arrived from Sweden in October.
Both are representative of the opposition to the Armenian authorities, as well as in favor of reconciliation with Azerbaijan in the Karabakh issue.
Vahe Avetyan made a walk in Baku and put on his page many photos, visited the Armenian Church and the historical center.
The Armenians have not yet communicated with the local media. -02B-

The United States and the European Union, which tried to position themselves as mediators in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, have come up with nothing and merely copied Russia's ideas, distorting their essence in order to "hijack" the peace process for themselves. However, their true goal was to take control of the region, to insert themselves into it, and to push out Russia, as well as Iran and Türkiye, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing on November 13.
