Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has refused to meet with visiting Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib because of what local news media described as the Minister’s “pro-Armenian” statements made earlier in Yerevan.
Lahbib traveled to Baku on August 24, Armenpress reports.
APA news agency reported that Aliyev usually meets visiting foreign ministers but he has snubbed Lahbib over her “pro-Armenian position."
Lahbib said during her visit to Armenia that Azerbaijan must open the Lachin Corridor and ensure the rights and security of the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh.
