The leaders of four countries – Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan – may soon hold a meeting. RIA Novosti writes about this with reference to an unnamed diplomatic source in Ankara.
According to media reports, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan came up with the idea, but there are no specifics on the date and location of the meeting yet. A consensus of all parties is required, the publication clarifies. “So far there have been no discussions on Ankara’s initiative. But there are such plans,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
The media also writes that the Turkish leader promised to discuss this issue with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev.
Let us add that the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh has been at the top of the news agenda lately. On September 19, the Azerbaijani armed forces launched an “anti-terrorist operation” in the region. As a result, it was reported that at least 200 people were killed and another 400 were wounded. On September 20, 6 Russian peacekeepers were also killed when they were shot at with small arms near the village of Dzhanyatag. From 13:00 on September 20, a ceasefire was established in Nagorno-Karabakh. Baku announced the completion of the “anti-terrorist operation”, and Yerevan unilaterally announced the decision to lay down arms and cease fire. On September 21, a meeting between Azerbaijan and representatives of Armenians in Karabakh took place in Yevlakh. Baku said it had provided representatives of the Armenians of Karabakh with a draft peace agreement.
