Why has Azerbaijan, Armenia peace meeting been called off?

Planned peace meeting between Azerbaijan and Armenia scheduled to be held next month has been called off over Yerevan’s insistence on involving France

Relations between the two former Soviet republics of Azerbaijan and Armenia have been tense since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Karabakh, a territory internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan.

Last week, Azerbaijan rebuffed a French senate resolution calling for sanctions against Baku and its withdrawal from territory liberated from Armenian occupation in 2020. “Then there was the French attempt to attack us through the Francophonie Summit . This is unacceptable because Francophonie is a humanitarian organisation,” Aliyev said.
