Today, a meeting took place in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
During the meeting, the two sides highlighted the significance of the agreements reached at the Washington Peace Summit, which was held at the initiative of U.S. President Donald Trump. They emphasized their readiness to continue efforts toward further strengthening peace between the two countries.
Aliyev and Pashinyan underscored the benefits of regional transport communications, discussed the current progress of infrastructure development in Azerbaijan, and reviewed the TRIPP (Trump Road) project in Armenia. They also exchanged views on the implementation of the Washington Declaration.
The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan began back in 1988. In September 2020, after a long-standing ceasefire, the two countries engaged in the 44-day Second Karabakh War, during which Azerbaijan regained control over parts of Karabakh and seven surrounding districts. On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched a localized military operation in Karabakh. Subsequently, on October 15, President Ilham Aliyev raised the Azerbaijani flag in Khankendi, declaring in his speech that Azerbaijan had fully restored its sovereignty, the Karabakh issue was resolved, and the conflict was over. On August 8 of this year, the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia initialed a peace agreement in Washington.
Both sides also welcomed the decision to dissolve the OSCE Minsk Process and its related structures.
In conclusion, both leaders agreed to continue their contacts.
Today in Copenhagen, the summit of the European Political Community (EPC) is being held, where European Union (EU) leaders are meeting with heads of non-EU countries.
