"Preparatory calls today in advance of tomorrow's fourth Brussels meeting with @azpresident and PM @NikolPashinyan," Michel tweeted.
In May, Michel held a trilateral meeting with Pashinyan and Aliyev in Brussels, during which the leaders agreed to establish the commission on delimitation and security of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. On May 24, the first meeting of Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and his Azerbaijani counterpart, Shahin Mustafayev, took place at the Armenian-Azerbaijani interstate border in the format of a joint commission on border delimitation and security.
The conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia flared up in Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2020, marking the most serious escalation of the decades-long conflict in years, with thousands of casualties left on both sides. The hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered trilateral declaration of ceasefire in November of that year. The parties agreed to the deployment of Russian peacekeepers to oversee the truce.
