HE INVITED PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN AND ALIYEV



Minister Mirzoyan announced that Armenia has invited President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to the European Political Community summit to be held in the capital Yerevan in May 2026. Mirzoyan stated that the invitation was conveyed verbally and that official documents would be sent later. Mirzoyan said, "We have conveyed the invitations. The documents have not been sent yet, but we requested their participation at the highest level verbally."



When asked about the possibility of the two leaders attending the summit, Mirzoyan noted that it is too early to say anything at this point, emphasizing that this matter is quite new. Mirzoyan stated, "We have not yet had the opportunity to discuss the details."



"ONE DAY ALIYEV WILL VISIT YEREVAN, AND PASINYAN WILL VISIT BAKU"



Minister Mirzoyan also emphasized that Armenia is progressing on the path of peace and reconciliation, referring to the possible mutual visits of the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia. Mirzoyan said, "I am not saying that we are ready to see Aliyev in Yerevan or Prime Minister Pasinyan in Baku today, but one day this will happen. We must go down this path."

"DIALOGUE WITH TURKEY CONTINUES"



Mirzoyan stated that Armenia is maintaining "very intense dialogue" with Turkey, saying, "Our plans for 2026 and the work we are doing are not limited to normalizing relations with Azerbaijan or establishing lasting peace; they go beyond that." Referring to peace with Azerbaijan, Mirzoyan described the declaration signed in Washington on August 8 and the normalization agreement as a "turning point." Mirzoyan stated, "It is extremely important to note that this is related to the removal of a significant barrier. Armenia has been under blockade for over 30 years, and now the two countries have agreed on the removal of the barrier or, if necessary, the construction of new infrastructure between them."
