Armenia and Azerbaijan's leaders met on May 14 for talks in Brussels amid heightened tensions on the tense border between the two countries over control of a contested enclave. The EU welcomed the meetings as a positive step toward clinching a durable peace agreement. The talks between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev were hosted by European Council President Charles Michel. Michel held bilateral talks with Pashinian on May 13 and with Aliyev on May 14. Neither leader commented after the meetings. The talks come after fresh clashes erupted on the border between the two Caucasus countries.
