Macron: For lasting peace in the Caucasus
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, French President Emmanuel Macron and European Council President Charles Michel met late on Thursday on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Prague.
Macron summed up the outcomes of the talks on social media, sharing a photo from the meeting.
“For lasting peace in the Caucasus,” the French leader tweeted.
“Tonight, Armenia and Azerbaijan confirmed their commitment to the Charter of the United Nations and the Alma Ata 1991 Declaration through which both recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
“Armenia agrees to facilitate the establishment of a European Union civilian mission alongside the border with Azerbaijan, which agrees to cooperate. The aim of this mission is to build confidence and, through its reports, to contribute to the border commissions,” Macron said.
