Tbilisi: Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov met with his Armenian counterpart, Ararat Mirzoyan, in the Georgian capital Tbilisi, in the first meeting since war broke out between both countries in 2020 over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
In a statement, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the two sides discussed a number of issues related to the normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the implementation of the obligations between the two parties based on the agreement concluded between them with Russian mediation in 2020.
The statement indicated that the two ministers stressed the importance of continuing direct dialogue between both countries, and taking steps towards making progress at the level of normalizing relations.
After a first war in the 1990s, Armenia and Azerbaijan clashed in the fall of 2020 over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which resulted in more than 6,500 deaths, while the 6-week standoff ended with a Russian-brokered truce.
