YEREVAN. June 27 (Interfax) - Baku has rejected a meeting planned for Monday between Azerbaijan's presidential aide Hikmet Hajiyev and Armenia's Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said.
"Grigoryan and Hajiyev were to meet today in Brussels, but Azerbaijan has cancelled the meeting. We also proposed a meeting between the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan to plan out work on a peace treaty but, again, there has been no reaction from Baku," Pashinyan told a press conference by video link on Monday.
Azerbaijan's statements and actions were "causing big problems," he said.
"Armenia is constantly trying to be constructive but in return we are seeing aggressive rhetoric from Azerbaijan," Pashinyan said.
He also said that a peace treaty was the only option.
"We shall do everything in our power to usher in an era of peaceful development, since the alternative to that is war," Pashinyan said.
