Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyah held an informal meeting with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev on the margins of the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday.

The meetings and discussions with Aliyev are not an official start and an official destination of the negotiation process, Pashinyan said in a live video on Facebook on Wednesday.

“The basis for the meeting was the arrangement that if at least we are in the same place, at least we don’t evade meetings. We don’t discuss any concrete details, so to speak; we are just exchanging views,” he said.

Pashinyan stressed that the axis of these discussions is everything that he speaks about publicly, too.

The national debt of Armenia amounted 3 trillion 349 billion drams, or $6 billion 922.9 million on December 31, 2018.

Basically, the national debt grew by $148.3 million dollars (2.2%), in a year.

The Ministry of Finance of Armenia has issued its synopsis of the country’s national debt, and according to which 2020 and 2025 will be the toughest years in terms of paying off this debt.

A meeting with Armenian prime minister is not on the schedule of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, president’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

Pashinyan will visit Moscow 25 for a meeting with the board of the Eurasian Commission.

“As far as I know [the talks with Russian president] are not planned. They often talk on phone and meet very often. Friday is a day with a busy schedule, that’s why I am not aware of any changes. The contacts have not been agreed yet,” Peskov told reporters.

Armenia’s former Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan has been summoned to the Investigative Committee.

Ex-PM gave explanations within the criminal case which was filed in connection with corruption scheme revealed during the privatization of the Hrazdan forest fund.
