Two high-ranking diplomats confirmed to Politico that Michel held bilateral meetings with the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in the UK earlier this month. These meetings had not been previously reported.
This initiative by Charles Michel underscores the European Union’s commitment to facilitating dialogue and cooperation between Baku and Yerevan, aiming to resolve longstanding conflicts and promote stability in the South Caucasus region.
