Azerbaijani president to miss upcoming CIS summit
Azerbaijan’s presidential administration told the state news agency Azertac that Aliyev’s busy schedule prevents his participation. The administration also noted that he did not attend a meeting of Eurasian Economic Union leaders in St. Petersburg the previous day, as Azerbaijan is not a member of that economic bloc, which was founded in 2015.
Despite his absence, the administration emphasized that Azerbaijan regularly takes part in official CIS summits and values cooperation within the regional intergovernmental organization.
On Sunday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to hold separate meetings with Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the sidelines of the event.
The CIS was established in 1991 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union to foster collaboration in economic, political, and security matters. Full members include Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, while Turkmenistan holds associate status. Moldova suspended its participation in CIS meetings in 2022.
