Amid the recent escalation, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, on July 19, arrived to Baku, which became the second point of his tour after Yerevan.
While commenting on the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, he did not use the term “Nagorno-Karabakh”.
“The fact that Charles Michel did not use the words “status”, “Nagorno-Karabakh”, of course, was a very wise step. It was a step of a statesman. We appreciate this, and Armenia should draw a conclusion. There is no status, no Nagorno-Karabakh” – Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev commented in his interview on July 22.
The Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) was not rec0gnised by the UN member states, including Armenia.
