Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev had a brief eye-to-eye meeting in Brussels, European Council President Charles Michel said.
Prior to that, Pashinyan and Aliyev held a trilateral meeting hosted by Michel in Brussels.
After the meeting, Michel told reporters that he left the two leaders alone briefly in order for them to engage in direct contact.
“This is true,” Michel told a reporter when asked to comment. “Because I thought it is important for me to help, to support, to encourage. It was also very important for them, this occasion to speak directly.”
Michel attached importance to creating direct contacts between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, and expressed conviction that the direct contacts are very useful.
