Today, October 18, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan will participate in the third meeting of the "3+3" regional consultation platform in Istanbul. "3+3" is a format of regional cooperation initiated by Turkey after the 44-day Karabakh war and supported by Russia, which involves the participation of the three South Caucasus countries - Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan - as well as the three powers of the region - Russia, Turkey and Iran. Russia confirmed the participation of Sergey Lavrov, and Georgia announced another boycott. They did not participate in any of the meetings, citing the contradictions with Russia. Analyzing the statements from different countries in political circles, there are predictions that Nikol Pashinyan will agree to the so-called Middle Corridor within the framework of a separate agreement with Recep Erdogan, which for Russia, to put it mildly. , is not acceptable, because the November 9 document talks about unblocking the roads, but not only about the so-called Zangezur corridor connecting Turkey to Azerbaijan. This is due to the fact that after the Putin-Pashinyan and Putin-Aliev meetings in Moscow on October 8, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that the Russian president discussed the "Zangezur Corridor" issue in the half-hour meetings. And already yesterday, Maria Zakharova edited that Moscow does not use the term "Zangezur Corridor"
