Leaders Strive for Peace: Armenia and Azerbaijan Meeting in UAE

ABU DHABI REGION, ABU DHABI, JUL 9 – The leaders aim to end nearly 40 years of conflict including wars over Nagorno-Karabakh, with key issues such as constitutional amendments and transport corridors under discussion.

  • This Thursday in Abu Dhabi, Armenian leader Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev will hold talks aimed at concluding a peace deal to resolve the longstanding conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region that has lasted for almost 40 years.
  • The meeting follows Azerbaijan's military recapture of the Karabakh region in September 2023 and the announcement of a draft peace deal earlier this year, though the signing timeline remains uncertain amid ongoing challenges.
  • Key issues include Azerbaijan's demand that Armenia amend its constitution to remove implicit territorial claims and the proposal of a transport corridor through Armenian territory to connect Azerbaijan to its exclave Nakhchivan, raising potential stumbling blocks.
  • Following the announcement of the draft deal, ceasefire violations along the heavily militarized and closed border increased sharply; however, no recent breaches have been reported, and international stakeholders stress that a negotiated political settlement remains the only viable path forward.
  • The upcoming meeting will be the first official occasion for the two leaders to convene following their consensus on the draft peace agreement, underscoring ongoing international backing for a landmark accord aimed at resolving years of conflict and displacement in the South Caucasus.
