Today, a very important meeting will take place, and I will meet with the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan. This was stated by the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, during a press conference at the opening ceremony of the second summit of the European Political Community held in Moldova on June 1.

“We have made some progress, and I hope that during this meeting we will confirm the common will to regulate relations between the two countries,” he said.
