President Ilham Aliyev claims flight data suggests unauthorized meetings between German and Russian officials. The assertion remains unverified and lacks specific details regarding the participants or the agenda, potentially serving as a rhetorical maneuver to influence European diplomatic perceptions.
Former German officials engaged in confirmed back-channel diplomatic meetings with Russian representatives in Baku, Azerbaijan, concurrent with German efforts to formalize energy cooperation with Azerbaijan. While the German government denies official involvement, the nature and agenda of these discussions remain largely unconfirmed, raising questions about potential unofficial dialogue on energy or conflict resolution.
