Armenian PM Says Will Meet Azerbaijan Leader on April 6 - Tasnim News Agency

(Tasnim) – Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Thursday announced an EU-mediated meeting with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev next week in Belgium amid renewed tensions over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

"I plan to meet on April 6 in Brussels with the European Council President Charles Michel and Azerbaijani President" Ilham Aliyev, Pashinyan told a cabinet meeting, AFP reported.

He added that he hoped "to agree on all the questions related to the start of peace talks" with Baku.

"Armenia once again declares that it is ready to sign a peace agreement with Azerbaijan and to start negotiations without delay," Pashinyan said.

Both Yerevan and Baku recently expressed readiness to launch negotiations on a "comprehensive peace treaty", following a flare-up in the long-contested Nagorno-Karabakh region earlier this month.
