The Azerbaijani delegation led by Presidential Advisor Hikmet Hajiyev meets with the Armenian delegation led by Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan and as organised by U.S. National Security\u00a0Advisor Jake Sullivan in Washington D.C. on 27 September 2022 \u00a9 <\/i>U.S. State Department\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier today, Armenian media reported that the pro-Russian \u0421\u0438\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043a\u0438<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>Telegram channel had shared what it claims to be the text of what was agreed by Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan and Azerbaijani Presidential Advisor Hikmet Hajiyev on 27 September in Washington D.C. when they met with U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The authenticity of the document has not been confirmed but it does appear to resemble what we believe are issues currently under discussion. Moreover, the document appears to be written by a native English speaker. That doesn\u2019t make it genuine, of course, but certainly means its accuracy is worth considering. Of particular interest in the document is the reference to Baku-Stepanakert dialogue.<\/p>\n

This is something I have long been arguing for and recently raised this in a question to the International Crisis Group\u2019s Zaur Shiriyev during a 27th September webinar. Reference to a \u2018discussion mechanism\u2019 between the ethnic Armenian population and Baku was also included in the official Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement following the 2 October meeting of the two foreign ministers in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

This is also potentially relevant given the announcement following the 6 October meeting of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev, and European Council President Charles Michel in Prague of a European Union civilian monitoring mission to be deployed within Armenia on its border with Azerbaijan. The duration of that mission was announced as being for a maximum of two months as well.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the document is unconfirmed and unverified, so do treat with caution, but it does make for interesting reading given that its content sounds plausible and credible enough. My own sources tell me that Baku is satisfied with what informal communication has been occurring with the Karabakh Armenians, and most recently even a semi-official arrangement over the Sarsang reservoir<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also held phone calls with Aliyev and Pashinyan today.\u00a0<\/span>A definite timeline as well as the need to facilitate communication between Baku and Stepanakert again featured. “He underlined the importance of discussions about the rights and securities for the residents of Nagorno-Karabakh and the need for both sides to maintain the cease-fire and focus on a negotiated agreement as the only path to a lasting peace,\u201d media reported.<\/p>\n
