No meeting between the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of Azerbaijan is planned for the time being, the Spokesperson of the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in a comment to the questions of the media, reacting to reports about possible summit of the two leaders in November. 

"There are proposals for various meetings in different formats, which are being discussed," the Spokesperson said.

Earlier, a source familiar with the matter told RIA Novosti that a meeting of Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders Vladimir Putin, Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev may be held in Moscow in early November, with the sides expected to sign trilateral statements. Commenting on the report, Kremlin Dmitry Peskov said if an agreement on holding a Russia-Armenia-Azerbaijan summit is reached, the Kremlin will report it in due time.

According to the statement by the MFA Spokesperson, based on the statement of January 11, 2021, Armenia has been involved in trilateral (Armenia, Russia, Azerbaijan) working discussions on the unblocking of transport communications in the region. "Since May of 2021, the withdrawal of Azerbaijani armed forces units from the territory of the Republic of Armenia, as well as the possible launch of the demarcation and delimitation process of the borders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, which has not been implemented so far, have been discussed within the trilateral format." 

"The two Co-Chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group - the United States and France, as well as the European Union, have also expressed their readiness to provide advisory assistance on border delimitation and demarcation, as well as on opening of the regional communications. The Government of Armenia stated the above-mentioned agenda months ago and will be consistent in its promotion, protection of the interests of Armenia and Artsakh, as well as in the establishment of regional peace and stability," the statement added.
