According to a statement released by Armenia Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's office, Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to hold talks in order to alleviate tensions in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

This remark was made following Nikol Pashinyan's meeting in Brussels with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

At the end of April, both administrators agreed to form a bilateral panel tasked with establishing borders.

According to the statement, Pashinyan and Aliyev asked the foreign ministries to organize peace negotiations between the two countries.

The conference in Brussels was also attended by Charles Michel, President of the European Council.

Tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia have also risen in recent days over the Ukraine conflict.

When the Soviet Union fell apart, the Upper Karabakh region, dominated by Armenians and supported by the Yerevan government, split away from Azerbaijan. More than 30 thousand people died and hundreds of thousands were forced to migrate as a result of this war in the 1990s.

A six-week battle broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the autumn of 2020, which Turkey directly supported. The fight for control of Upper Karabakh took the lives of 6500 people, and Armenia was defeated.

The agreement, which was made as a result of the mediation of Russia, gave Azerbaijan a considerable amount of land, while Moscow deployed a quota of 2,000 soldiers to Nagorno-Karabakh in order to keep the peace.
