“A meeting of the delegations of the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan will take place on February 28-29 in Berlin,” Armenian international ministry spokeswoman Ani Badalyan stated Monday on social media.
The assembly was deliberate “in line with the agreement reached at the Munich trilateral talks” throughout which Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev had spoken.
Their assembly had been mediated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov confirmed he can be assembly Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan “over the coming days.”
