Moscow visit: For the first time in several months, a face-to-face meeting between Aliyev and Pashinyan will take place

47

It became known that the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia accepted the invitation of the Russian authorities to visit Moscow on January 11. Both Ilham Aliyev and Nikol Pashinyan will arrive in the Russian capital tomorrow to hold talks in a trilateral format.

This will be the first face-to-face meeting of the President of Azerbaijan with the Prime Minister of Armenia in several months - the first since the beginning of the acute phase of the armed conflict in Karabakh, which was eventually stopped with an active mediation mission from the Russian Federation.

It is known that Russian President Vladimir Putin will also take part in the negotiations.

The Kremlin press service notes that this kind of trilateral meeting will take place at the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation.

The main issue that Putin, Aliyev and Pashinyan are planning to discuss will be the issue of compliance with the agreements that were reached on November 10 last year. Let us recall that it was on November 10 that the end of the war, which lasted for about one and a half months, was put. According to the most conservative estimates, during this time the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides lost about 5,5 thousand soldiers killed and more than 15 thousand wounded.

During the Moscow visit, the heads of state are also planning to discuss issues related to the solution of current problems in Nagorno-Karabakh, including security issues, restoration of infrastructure, sending humanitarian aid, and the return of refugees.

At the same time, not everyone in Armenia is positively disposed in connection with the upcoming trip of Nikol Pashinyan to Moscow. Opponents of the incumbent prime minister say that "Pashinyan has no right to represent Armenia and Stepanakert at the talks in Moscow." Once again, the words were sounded that Pashinyan should resign. But Pashinyan, who remains in the chair of the Armenian prime minister, has not yet reacted to these statements.

        At the same time, Aliyev will nervously fidget in his chair and continue to shrug off the Turks' guilt for the downed Russian MI-24 in the skies of Armenia before Putin, taking the blame on Azerbaijan and not finding true performers. And those have probably already returned to Syria or Libya long ago.

        So Aliyev will probably tell Putin that the perpetrators of the downing of the Russian MI-24, as the investigation allegedly revealed, simply died too and he has no one to ask ...

          Pashinyan, of course, must leave. But while he is in office, he should solve urgent issues. And the issue of a peaceful settlement in Karabakh is urgent. Therefore, the hysteria of "Armenian patriots" in Armenia and Russia is inappropriate.

          I believe that Vladimir Vladimirovich will talk about the helicopter with Ilham Heydarovich. No journalists. Alone.

            They appeal more to the fact that Pashinyan should not have gone due to the fact that Baku did not give up all the prisoners. Only it is not at all profitable for Pashinyan to refuse to meet. this confirms its legitimacy.
            I am interested in the function of such a political figure as the President of Armenia. Why do the Armenians even keep him? He learned about the war from the media, during the war he did not appear anywhere, and after the war he celebrates the New Year in London, where he hangs around to this day.

                Yes, that's understandable! However, it must be admitted that the annual maintenance of this "symbolic" figure costs the taxpayer a very considerable and not at all "symbolic" sum, even in Armenia, even in Germany. Question - "What vegetable does she even need this figure for?" Any portrait of a historical person would be hung in the foyer, there would be more sense. The Armenian president is generally "handsome", instead of sharing the bitterness of defeat with the people, he went to London.

              And who said that Baku did not give up all the prisoners? Baku extradited all those who were detained before the signing of the ceasefire (November 10th). He did not betray those who were detained in sabotage after November 26 (62 people). Since these people are no longer considered prisoners of war, but terrorists (saboteurs).
              Judge for yourself, there was a peace treaty, both sides laid down their arms and stand face to face to each other and draw the border. At this moment, different people from Armenia (it is clarified, they thought with their head or their state sent them) go to the rear of the enemy and kill a civilian and several military men. At the moment, investigations are underway, if they thought with their heads and took this step, then they are terrorists, if they were sent by the Armenian government, then they are saboteurs. In any case, these are already criminals and should be punished.
              In general, public trials should be arranged over such people, if they get away with it, such attacks will continue and there will already be a question not only for Armenia, but it also endangers the security of the Peacekeepers.

      Since both decided to hold a meeting on neutral territory, then both are interested in some kind of agreement. Aliyev certainly has a stronger position. But "lowering the floor below the plinth" is a bad way to conduct a dialogue, and Aliyev is a smart man and is not new to politics.

      I think that the main issue will be the question of "chairs" ... Both want to sit on them, with the support of Russia. The trans-Adriatic gas pipeline has been completed and the Biden family behind it by hook or by crook wants to get the Central Asian gas. Therefore, Erdagan sharply changed the political vector and saw the future of Turkey in Europe. Apparently "decarbonization" is a smokescreen for neo-colonial expansion
      Putin called two "sworn friends" to discuss the corridors. From Russia to Armenia and from Armenia to Turkey. Armenia will be persuaded to host another Russian base.

    Maybe I’ll say a banality, but the transport corridor to Nakhichevan is rather a gift to Erdogan, but I don’t understand why Russia benefits. Strengthening a potential enemy directly is possible only for serious retaliatory steps. All the promises of the Turk are of little value and Idlib is an example of this.

        What a straight corridor? Armenni already has a border with Iran and we carry all heavy equipment only through this border. But Azerbaijan and Turkey get a direct route for Chinese goods to Europe. Why do we need competitors? The current route through the Georgian territory is clearly not profitable for many reasons.

    It's strange. Officially, the NKR is not Armenia. And the negotiations on the NKR and the fate of the NKR will be decided by the Prime Minister of Armenia Pashinyan. And from the first day of the war, it was impossible for official Armenia to recognize its own NKR.? Now there would have been a different alignment!
    After all, Armenia is a member of the CSTO and is subject to PHYSICAL PROTECTION by the CSTO members.
