🇦🇿 Speaking at the panel session of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ilham Aliyev accused Armenia of "rejecting" the proposal to start a trilateral cooperation format between Yerevan-Tbilisi-Baku.
🗣 "Our proposal was to organize a meeting of leaders in Georgia because historically Georgia has always been the place where all neighbors met. But Armenia is not ready for that.

If the three Caucasian countries unite their efforts in the field of energy, transport, security, stability, border demarcation, the region will become much safer," he stated. |news.am|
