Forty-four countries, including Armenia, today, in Prague, participated in the first summit of the European Political Community, a new political platform created by the European Union.

Photos have already appeared on the internet, showing an informal meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

Also seated at the table are Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

Pashinyan is also scheduled to sit down at a four-party meeting with Aliyev, French President Emmanuel Macron and European Council President Charles Michel.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has ruled out Russia’s membership in the EPC.

"This meeting is looking for a new world order without Russia,” Borrell announced.

The EU Council reports the summit’s agenda includes "Issues such as peace and security, the economic situation, energy and climate, as well as migration and mobility."

Adoption of an official document is not planned. EU leaders will call on their partners to join the position of Brussels on the issue of Ukraine, specifically, to impose sanctions on Russia over its military operations in Ukraine.
