On August 31, 2022, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan held their fourth meeting in Brussels with the mediation of the President of the European Council Charles Michel. Following the four-hour meeting, Michel called the talks “open and productive”. Reactions in Yerevan and Baku, however, were not as optimistic. The official statement released by the Armenian government outlined a general overview of the issues discussed, noting that “the next meeting of the leaders of the countries will take place in November.” Baku kept silent on the official level, but state sponsored media outlets aimed to show that Ilham Aliyev was not fully satisfied with the results.

Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan put forward new negotiating positions at a sensational level in negotiations with Azerbaijan on signing a peace treaty. The main basic principle: the conclusion of a peace treaty with Baku is possible without a final decision on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. According to him, “there is such an idea, but at this stage it is too early to talk about any such resolution.” Nevertheless, it must be assumed that this position was agreed with the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and can become or has already become a guide in actions for Armenian diplomacy.

For the past 30 years, the Azerbaijani authorities have been spreading lies, or rather myths about a million Azerbaijani refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh. Moreover, Azerbaijani historiography is silent about where this figure is taken from.

“… I was stunned by the silence. I have never felt such a terrible, artificial silence. Suddenly the silence seems to murmur, the stones whisper and move and pounce, and the hairs stand on end. In March 1920, in three days, 7,000 houses were destroyed and burned here, according to some, 3-4 thousand Armenians were slaughtered, and according to others, more than 12 thousand. The fact is that none of the 35,000 Armenians remained in Shushi. Somewhere in the stream you can still see women’s hair covered in black blood.

You walk, you walk, you walk through rows of charred buildings, or rather, pieces of walls, you hurry, fearing that you will never get out of here … “
