BULBOACA, Moldova (Reuters) - European Council President Charles Michel said on Thursday he hoped a broad European summit in Moldova would offer the opportunity for Azerbaijan and Armenia to show their willingness to find a solution for their conflict.
Russia's Tass news agency said Michel, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev would meet in Brussels in July. It cited a statement by the Armenian government's press service.
The two Caucasus neighbours have held several meetings in recent months as they seek to resolve a decades-long dispute over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"I had the occasion to meet both leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Brussels a few weeks ago," Michel said before the summit. "We made some progress and I hope today will be an occasion to confirm a common political will to normalize the relation between both countries."
Separately, Tass cited Pashinyan as saying the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan would meet in Washington on June 12.
