Armenian leadership which is responsible for the absence of peace in the South Caucasus

It is the Armenian leadership which is responsible for the absence of peace in the South Caucasus.

The statement came from Elman Abdullayev spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

He was commenting on the statements of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during the reception in honor of the 20th anniversary of Armenian independence organized in Los Angeles.

'Instead of attempting to mislead the local and world community, the Armenian leadership should demonstrate will and realize that peace and stability in the region are impossible without liberation of the occupied lands of Azerbaijan'.

He said that the president of Armenia should not forget that it is time to take steps to solve the Karabakh conflict rather than saying loud words while taking a trip to California.

'It is now not the time to blame someone while occupying alien lands and committing ethnic cleansing. There is no stability and peace in our region due to the unconstructive position of Armenia', Abdullayev said.

Sargsyan said in Los Angeles that Armenia has not yet attained stable peace which is why it is obliged to spend huge funds and resources to ensure security of their people and state.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
