Armenia hints at recognizing Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan in Brussels meeting.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian has said he is willing to recognise the Karabakh enclave as part of Azerbaijan if Baku guarantees the security of its ethnic Armenian population. Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev said a peace agreement with Armenia was "inevitable". Russia helped secure a truce to halt a six-week conflict in 2020, but the agreement has not led to lasting peace, and armed clashes are common along the border. Armenia and Azerbaijan were due to discuss the unblocking of transport links at a meeting next week, where Russia will also be present.
