European Council President Charles Michel will host fresh talks between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Brussels in the near future, Pashinyan revealed on Thursday.

At a cabinet meeting, he stressed the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh should be addressed within the framework of the international mechanisms for the Baku-Stepanakert dialogue, and a peace treaty should be signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“The progress recorded in the recent Armenia-Azerbaijan negotiations in Washington is not tangible, but there is some progress. In the near future, my meeting with the Azerbaijani president is planned in Brussels, through the mediation of the European Council president,” Pashinyan said.

“Unfortunately, the text of the peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan is not yet ready for signing. I hope to materialize the positive things recorded in Washington during the upcoming meeting. All issues should be resolved diplomatically,” the premier added.
