Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said he refused a tripartite meeting with the Presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan by Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev in the video conferencing mode on November 9, Interfax reports.
“was the idea to hold an online meeting on November 9 (on the anniversary of the completion of the war in Karabakh, during which the Armenian side was defeated – ed.). I said that this idea is problematic for us, since November 9 – a difficult day for us. “,” said Pashinyan at a press conference in video conferencing.
He noted that he was ready to agree to a meeting on November 9, if it turned out that “concrete decisions will be taken, for example, the return of Armenian prisoners of war.”
“I said that in this case I would be ready to overcome the difficulty and severity of the day on November 9 and take part in the meeting. But when it turned out that such an agreement was not possible at this meeting, I would have asked to postpone the meeting on November 15. Then there was a proposal to postpone the meeting on November 26 and in full-time format, for which I agreed, “Pashinyan said.
