"We need to take into account several elements in the 3+3 format. The initiator of this format is Azerbaijan," said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov at a press conference on the results of the year, APA reports.
The minister said that when the last meeting was held in Türkiye in 2024, a proposal was made for the next meeting to be held in Azerbaijan, followed by Armenia.: "For certain reasons, there was no consensus and this proposal was not included in the final document. Our proposal is valid. The "3+3" format emerged shortly after the Second Karabakh War. It gives the impression that the main topic within this format should be the Azerbaijan-Armenia issue. The Azerbaijan-Armenia issue has largely already been resolved. There is direct dialogue between Azerbaijan and Armenia. If we are meeting on such an agenda to discuss issues related to all regional countries, we have no objection to holding such a meeting if our proposal in 2024 is accepted.
