President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev announced that Yerevan rejected the proposal to create a trilateral format of Armenia-Georgia-Azerbaijan. Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan was asked to comment on the statement in an interview with Armenipress.
Armenia is interested in the development of trilateral dialogue between the countries of the South Caucasus, Mirzoyan said.
“We see the possible Tbilisi as a platform for trilateral regional discussions, not Armenia-Azerbaijan bilateral meetings. The idea of a meeting between the Prime Ministers of Armenia and Georgia and the President of Azerbaijan is circulating now,” the Foreign Minister said.
“The Armenian side has expressed readiness and is still ready for such a meeting, but such a meeting does not seem particularly effective and promising, when it is not possible to agree on even a simple joint statement expressing commitment to the elimination of hate speech and hostility,” FM Mirzoyan stated.
