Armenian side does not exclude possibility of Pashinyan and Erdogan meeting in Prague
The Armenian side does not exclude the possibility of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but such a meeting has not been confirmed at the moment, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Vahan Hunanyan said, commenting on Erdogan's latest statement.
"A meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during an event to be held in Prague is not ruled out. At this point in time, such a meeting is not confirmed. We will inform the public in time if the meeting is confirmed," he said when asked by Armenpress.
Erdogan did not rule out a meeting with Pashinyan in Prague, where a summit of the European political community is to take place in early October. "At the moment we are discussing participation in the upcoming meeting of the European Political Community in Prague. In case we decide to go to the Czech Republic, presumably [Armenian Prime Minister Nikol] Pashinyan will also be there. The Armenian side has previously expressed the idea of a meeting on that platform. Perhaps we will have an opportunity to discuss all these issues there. However, of course, we will also have certain initiatives on the Caucasus. At the moment everything is still at a planning stage. I will discuss these issues with my brother [Azerbaijani President Ilham] Aliyev and depending on that we will take steps," Erdogan said.
