Putin, Aliyev, Sargsyan to meet next Monday

15 June 2016

Russian president Vladimir Putin will meet his Armenian and Azerbaijani counterparts next Monday, it has been confirmed.

"On Monday, June 20, trilateral talks on the problem of Nagorno-Karabakh settlement are planned between the presidents of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan," presidential aide Yury Ushakov told reporters on Tuesday. "It is planned that Putin will at first hold separate meetings with Sargsyan and Aliyev, and later the three presidents will hold talks together," he said.

Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev last met in Vienna on May 16, their first summit since four days of fierce fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh which killed dozens, the worst outbreak of violence for decades. Russia brokered a truce on April 5.

Putin has already held several phonecalls with the two presidents, while Russian prime minister Dmitri Medvedev visited Baku and Yerevan in the immediate aftermath of the April violence. Meetings of defence and foreign ministers have also taken place.

"We will see which results this three-party contact will lead to. Our side will hold the most interested and active dialogue," said Ushakov, according to TASS.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

6 July 2025
The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
