Pashinyan to Meet Putin, Aliyev in Turkmenistan
Pashinyan says he will have informal contacts with Putin, Aliyev during Turkmenistan visit
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said he expects to have informal contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev during an upcoming visit to Turkmenistan. Speaking at a briefing, Pashinyan noted that the event's format will bring all three leaders together in the same venue, making interactions likely. However, no official bilateral meetings with either Putin or Aliyev are currently scheduled. Pashinyan indicated that formal discussions could occur if needed during the visit. He referenced past diplomatic precedent, noting that bilateral meetings have been arranged on short notice when mutual interests warranted discussion. The prime minister emphasized that while conversations are expected, any structured meetings would be determined during the event itself.
