The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan (Ararat Mirzoyan, Jeyhun Bayramov) are meeting today in Berlin to restart peace negotiations between their two countries.

Germany is hosting today’s meeting following a surprise direct meeting between the leaders of both countries on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference earlier this month.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock met separately with her Azerbaijani and Armenian counterparts on Wednesday before hosting a trilateral meeting.

Last December, Yerevan and Baku issued a joint statement saying they want to reach a peace deal.
