Armenia and EU exchange views on Karabakh conflict.

Developments around the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and conflict settlement process were discussed on Tuesday (3 November) during a meeting between the President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, and the visiting European Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus, Ambassador Herbert Salber. According to the Press Office of the Armenian President,  during the meeting "Serzh Sargsyan stressed that today it is important, more than ever, the maintenance of the EU's balanced position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well as the fulfillment of its commitment to creating a favorable environment for a comprehensive settlement of the conflict"

The Armenian President touched upon the situation following his previous meeting with Herbert Salber about four months ago and noted that in that brief period of time, tensions have been seriously exacerbated in the region, "posing an immediate threat to the security of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenian bordering regions".

Also present for the meeting was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Edward Nalbandian and other Armenian officials and EU diplomats.

Trump threatens Russia with tariffs if peace deal is not reached within 50 days

US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened Russia with steep tariffs unless a peace deal is reached within 50 days and announced a rejuvenated pipeline for American weapons to reach Ukraine, hardening his stance toward Moscow after months of frustration about unsuccessful negotiations for ending the war. The latest steps reflect an evolving approach from the Republican president, who promised to swiftly resolve the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin when he invaded Ukraine three years ago. In the past, Trump focused his criticism on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whom he described as unwilling to compromise, but more recently has expressed growing irritation towards Putin. In addition, Trump said European allies would buy “billions and billions” of dollars of U.S. military equipment to be transferred to Ukraine, replenishing the besieged country’s supplies of weapons. He made the announcement in the Oval Office alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
