PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev discussed the settlement of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh during an informal CIS summit in St. Petersburg, Tass reports.

Putin said Tuesday, December 27 that the trilateral discussion took place the day before.

"The three of us also managed to talk. Of course, the main issue is the settlement of the situation in the South Caucasus as a whole and Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, everything that is related to Karabakh," Putin said, promising to discuss these issues in detail.
