On October 31, negotiations between the heads of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan on Nagorno-Karabakh took place in Sochi. First, Putin held bilateral meetings with Aliyev and Pashinyan, then everyone met in a trilateral format. As experts note, the Sochi meetings did not add anything new to the negotiation process. “Putin called the meeting in Sochi with Aliyev and Pashinyan “useful.” This means that it was not successful,” Arkady Dubnov comments in his Telegram channel.
