Armenian Foreign Minister: Order of meeting in "3+3" format being  discussed with Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. The order of a meeting in the "3+3" regional platform format is currently being discussed with Azerbaijan. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated this in a conversation with journalists on October 27.

He noted that this issue arose after meetings had already taken place  in all the other capitals of the participating countries. "We are  currently discussing the order with Azerbaijan. Moreover, the  discussion of any issue is inevitably linked to many other issues of  Armenian-Azerbaijani normalization," Mirzoyan said.  He also  emphasized the importance of Armenia's participation in the "3+3"  format.

 Note that the first meeting of the "3+3" regional platform took  place on December 10, 2021, in Moscow, co-chaired by the deputy  foreign ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey, and the  Director General of the Iranian Foreign Ministry. The Russian Foreign  Ministry noted that representatives of Georgia, who were also  invited, chose not to participate in the meeting, but the door  remains open to them.  In 2023 in Iran, and in 2024 in Turkey,  meetings of representatives of this platform at the level of the  foreign ministers from five countries - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia,  Iran, and Turkey - were held. Once again, Georgia  did not  participate in the platform's work. The parties agreed to hold the  next meeting in either Baku or Yerevan.
