President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia in Istanbul on Friday. The meeting addressed contacts between Türkiye and Armenia, the peace and dialogue process in the South Caucasus, and current regional developments.
During the meeting, President Erdoğan stressed the importance of the consensus reached in the ongoing peace negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, emphasizing Türkiye’s commitment to supporting regional development efforts based on a "win-win" approach.
