Answering a question regarding the role of regional actors with respect to the peace process, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia emphasized during the panel discussion:
“So again, we are thankful to all those countries who have tried to bring the positions of Armenia and Azerbaijan closer. But also, we are not naive. We, of course, understand that all the countries, everybody in the world, have their own interests and these interests do not necessarily always coincide with the interests of the Republic of Armenia in this case, and I’m pretty much sure that the case of the Republic of Azerbaijan is the same. This is theoretical axiomatic truth I think, but nevertheless, not necessarily the interests and the vision of Russia and Republic of Armenia coincide, and you know I would like to have my Russian counterpart as well to be sitting with us and participating in deliberations.
In the same logic, I would like to have my distinguished colleague from Türkiye participating in this deliberation as well. As well as I wish we have had signed the peace treaty, so I could also have a chance to see my Azerbaijani counterpart here.
Türkiye can, of course, understandably play a crucial role in this process of establishing peace and stability in the South Caucasus.”
