A meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijan leaders shouldn’t be an end in itself, but it should have content, Armenian foreign ministry spokesperson Tigran Balayan said at a news conference today, Armenpress reports. 

At the same time he stressed that Armenia doesn’t put forward any preconditions for the meeting. Balayan emphasized that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has numerously stated his willingness to meet with the Azerbaijani President and negotiate on behalf of Armenia. ''But this meeting must have content. And we expect this meeting to bring results also in terms of implementing the previous agreements. In the event of a content, agreements about the principals of the [conflict] settlement should be reached. We have a decades-old bitter experience how were reaching agreements and then Azerbaijan was refusing [the agreements]. Now, indeed, Pashinyan has stressed that all agreements that were reached should be implemented. This is about the agreements which were reached during the summits that took place after the [2016] April aggression,'' Balayan said.
