Russian spokesperson dismisses plans for trilateral leaders' meeting in St.Petersburg

There are no plans for a trilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia along the sidelines of the informal CIS summit in St.Petersburg.

As Interfax reported, the Russian presidential Press Secretary Dmitriy Peskov disclosed this information, noting that both President Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will be attending the event, scheduled to take place on December 26-27.

“They [President Aliyev and PM Pashinyan] will be there [in St.Petersburg] but a meeting just the three of them is not planned”, he said. This comes after Peskov recently hinted at the possibility of such a meeting.

Caliber.Az recalls, that the last trilateral summit took place in the Russian seaside city of Sochi at the end of October, while Russian President Vladimir Putin held bilateral talks with the Armenian head of state in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek on December 9 within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union summit.
