Erdogan and Pashinyan to meet in Prague today

The President of Turkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, will meet today in Prague, the Czech Republic. 

The leaders will discuss the normalization of Ankara-Yerevan relations, as well as exchange views on holding the meeting of special representatives in Turkiye and Armenia instead of the third countries.

Erdogan will deliver messages to Pashinyan on refraining from provocations and signing the final peace agreement with Azerbaijan so as not to increase tension in the region. The opening of the Zangezur corridor will also be discussed at the meeting.

According to the TASS agency, Ankara does not rule out that the first meeting of the parties will serve to normalize relations between the two states and that the process of preparing a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan can be started.

A diplomatic source told the agency that a one-on-one meeting is more productive than a telephone conversation.
