Pashinyan emphasises transparency in dealing with the Karabakh issue

Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan, on Wednesday (19 December), referred to ongoing diplomatic contacts connected with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Pashinyan told journalists in Yerevan that he had given instructions for all contacts to be public in order to avoid intrigue. 

Pashinyan mentioned as an example the visits of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Special representative Andrzej Kasprzyk visits to the region

He noted, that the regional trips of Kasprzyk are strictly routine ones, and they were often not reported or covered by the media. He said he now gave instructions that all contacts should be covered.

Pashinyan reiterated in his comments to journalists that no Armenian government had been so transparent on the Karabakh issue as his administration.

On Wednesday, 18 December, the website of the Armenian government reported a meeting between Pashinyan and Special Representative Kasprzyk

Trump says Ukraine should give up land for peace as preparations start for US-Russia summit

U.S. President  Donald Trump said that the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine should be “cut up,” leaving most of it in Russian hands, to end a  war that has dragged on for nearly four years. Trump has edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia, in exchange for an end to the war. Following a phone call last week, the Russian and US leaders Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump announced they would meet in Budapest for talks on resolving the war in Ukraine, triggered by Moscow's all-out offensive in February 2022. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US counterpart Marco Rubio spoke on Monday 20 October to discuss preparations for the summit, and are expected to meet in person to finalise details. However, the Kremlin stated on Tuesday 21 October that there was "no precise time frame" for the summit even though Trump stated that the meeting with Putin could take place within two weeks.
