Armenian ruling party dismisses possibility of Aliyev-Pashinyan-Putin meeting

The ruling Civil Contract party in Armenia has doubted that the meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan, Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev, would take place.

This was stated on October 25 in an interview with journalists by the MP from the Civil Contract faction Gurgen Melkonyan, Caliber.Az reports with reference to the Armenian media.

He also said that he did not expect anything good from a potential Aliyev-Pashinyan-Putin meeting. Aliyev feels comfortable in Russia.
“I don’t know at all whether this meeting will take place or not. Maybe it won't take place. Who said that the meeting will happen?"

Responding to the remark of journalists that there had been a corresponding statement from the Kremlin, he replied: “They told you, but they didn’t tell us anything.” He wondered why the meeting in a similar format did not take place in Kazakhstan. “If the Russian tsar wanted this meeting to take place, he would organize it. Why wasn't this done? They want the meeting to take place now? Let them invite us officially, we'll see."
