The opening photo series of the trilateral meeting that started in Brussels is again telling. Armen Ashotyan, vice-chairman of the former ruling Republican Party of Armenia, wrote this on Facebook—and with respect to the ongoing meeting in Brussels between Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia, President Charles Michel of the European Council, and President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan.

"I say again that the being who became the cause and symbol of [the Armenian side’s] defeat [in the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war in the fall of 2020] has no right to continue negotiations.

Here again, everything is clear already from the photos.

The body language just screams about it.

Let's wait for another defeatist statement [for the Armenian side] in the evening," Ashotyan added.
