Lawmaker assumes Azerbaijan postponed Armenia talks because timeframe coincided with Erdogan trip

YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS. Member of Parliament Arman Yeghoyan from the Civil Contract faction believes that Azerbaijan postponed the foreign ministerial talks with Armenia that were planned to take place in Washington D.C. on June 12 because of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani foreign minister could not be absent from the country during the trip, Yeghoyan said.

“I assume that the reason is that they had guests during these days. The Turkish President plans to visit Baku today. I think that their foreign minister could not be absent from the country during these days,” Yeghoyan told reporters, adding that he has no information on a new timeframe of the meeting.
