Aliyev briefed Putin on his meeting with Pashinyan in Brussels

ArmInfo. President of Russia Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the Azerbaijani side's  initiative.

As the press service of the Kremlin reports, The Presidents assessed  the implementation of agreements reached by the leaders of Russia,  Azerbaijan and Armenia on November 9, 2020, January 11 and November  26, 2021, and prioritised the resolution of issues linked with  resuming peaceful life in the region, strengthening stability and  unblocking economic ties and transport lines of communication.

Ilham Aliyev informed Vladimir Putin of his May 22 meeting with Prime  Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and President of  the European Council Charles Michel in Brussels.

The leaders discussed certain topical aspects of bilateral trade and  economic cooperation and reaffirmed their mutual commitment to  further strengthening Russian-Azerbaijani strategic partnership,  including in the context of the results of Ilham Aliyev's official  visit to Moscow in February 2022.

They agreed to continue regular multi-level contacts.

Earlier, on May 22, Brussels hosted a trilateral meeting with the  participation of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan and European Council President Charles  Michel. Following the talks, Michel said that the first meeting of  the border commissions will be held in the near future, during which  issues related to the delimitation of the border between Armenia and  Azerbaijan will be considered.

Following the meeting of the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan on  transport communication on June 22, the statement of the President of  the European Council states that the leaders agreed on the need to  unblock transport communications. "They agreed on the principles  governing transit between western Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan and  between different parts of Armenia through Azerbaijan, as well as  international transportation through the communication infrastructure  of both countries. In particular, they agreed on the principles of  border management, security, land fees, as well as customs rules in  the context of international transportation. In the coming days, the  vice- premiers will continue this work," Michel said.

At the same time, Charles Michel's statement does not say anything  about the status and future of Nagorno Karabakh. Moreover, in his  statement, the head of the European Council, instead of the generally  recognized term Nagorno-Karabakh, used the Azerbaijani term  "Karabakh" and the wording "Armenian ethnic population of Karabakh."  In addition, his statement does not mention any trilateral agreements  at the level of the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia, or  other generally accepted principles of settlement.
