Telegram post of political commentator Hakob Badalyan:
"Not only did the Pashinyan-Aliev meeting not take place in Davos, but the possibility of it was not even touched upon in practice. I mean the lack of conversation at the level of the organizers.
Does it mean that there is a certain decline in interest? It is possible because processes are taking place now, compared to which the Pashinyan-Aliev meeting is essentially a very, very small circumstance.
They met in Davos in 2019. Moreover, it was Pashinyan-Aliev's second meeting, in September 2018. Although it was called "elevator diplomacy". it was certainly nothing more than just an informational exchange, because their meeting in Dushanbe was "not in an elevator" and lasted almost an hour.
By the way, in that regard, it is worth mentioning the fact that Vladimir Putin left for Baku one day before that meeting He left for Baku on the eve of the CIS summit in Dushanbe, and then left for Dushanbe Regarding the "preparation" of the Pashinyan-Aliev meeting.
Returning to the "non-held" meeting in Davos. As I mentioned from the end of last year, Trump's inauguration will mean certain changes in the context of the great geopolitical bargaining that is taking place between the superpowers. It will naturally have an impact on the Armenian-Azerbaijani process, which is especially recent in two years, he was rather under the influence of the activity and initiative of the US administration.
And since there is a change of administration, with very significant changes in approaches, the Armenian-Azerbaijani process is currently in a "transitional phase". This is also where the situation takes on a rather high level of risk.
