The two countries’ leaders meet in Brussels amid fears that large-scale conflict could soon return to the region. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is expected to meet European Council President Charles Michel and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on April 6 in Belgium's Brussels.

The meeting between the Azerbaijani president and the Armenian prime minister is scheduled to be attended by Charles Michel. A one-on-one meeting between Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders is also not ruled out.

Earlier, the meeting in a trilateral format was held in Brussels on December 14, 2021.

On December 14, 2021, during the Brussels meeting, organized between Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders at the initiative of European Council President Charles Michel, the sides reaffirmed their commitment to the conditions agreed in the Sochi meeting.

Both sides agreed to establish a temporary working group on the delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

The issue of demining the liberated territories of Azerbaijan was also brought up on the agenda, and the European Union's readiness to provide technical assistance to Azerbaijan in this regard was underlined at the meeting.

On November 26, 2021, in Sochi, the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia signed a statement in which they agreed on a number of issues, including the demarcation and delimitation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border by late 2021, some humanitarian issues, and the issue of unblocking transport corridors, which applies to railway and automobile communications.

A meeting has got underway between President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, who is on a working visit to Brussels, and President of the European Council Charles Michel.

Armenia and Azerbaijan meet in Brussels in search of final peace deal. The meeting between Azeri President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian comes just a day after Antony Blinken reaffirmed his "bilateral engagement" with both powers and urged them to negotiate peace.

Brussels was the scene on Wednesday of a key meeting between the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, Nikol Pashinian, and the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, which is expected to finally open a formal framework for negotiations between the two powers. The meeting, which took place under the mediation of European Council President Charles Michel, has sparked optimism in both the Azeri and Armenian governments, with both Yerevan and Baku representatives saying they are pinning great hopes on the talks.

"Armenia once again declares that it is ready to sign a peace agreement with Azerbaijan and start negotiations without delay," said Nikol Pashinian during a meeting with his presidential cabinet. "Both countries must move forward and sign a peace agreement as soon as possible," Nikol Pashinian said, amid rising tensions between the two countries over the Nagorno-Karabakh border region. In the same vein, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has backed Pashinian, underlining his confidence in the meeting.

The EU's efforts to become - alongside Russia - another key neutral mediator in the conflict have sparked debate within the international community. The aid package granted by Brussels to six Eastern Partnership nations in July last year was evidence of the EU's pro-Armenian tilt. However, changes in trade and energy flows caused by sanctions on Russia could prompt the EU-27 to look to Baku for replacements for Moscow's gas.

Just a day before the Brussels meeting, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held separate talks with both leaders, calling on them not to give up their efforts to achieve peace.

"The Secretary of State expressed his encouragement for peace negotiations, including the meeting of President Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Pashinian with European Council President Charles Michel. He reiterated that the United States stood ready to help, engaging bilaterally and with like-minded partners, including through our role as Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group," a statement released by State Department spokesman Ned Price said.

However, the gradual and subtle shift in Armenian leaders' discourse in recent weeks has - among the country's opposition - raised fears that Yerevan will resign and cede full control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region to Azerbaijan. As a result, Armenia has in recent days been the scene of large demonstrations against the five-point political agreement offered by Baku. The two sides would recognise each other's territorial integrity, promise not to claim territory, promise not to threaten each other's security, demarcate borders and unblock transport links were the issues addressed by the Azeri government.

Such a contrast. Pashinyan is scowling, Aliyev is all smiles. That is what happens when your country easily wins the war AND all the territory.

Give the artsakhis their rights to self determination and make it internationally recognized!! It’s obvious that they get ethnically cleansed and are under direct threat of Azerbaycan. Please Europe, don’t be a hypocrite. Do the same as you did in Kosovo. Its not worth the corrupt oil money from Aliyev regime !! Life’s depend on it
