Armenian Azerbaijani Talks

3+3 Meeting In Istanbul

After Moscow and Tehran, this year it was Istanbul’s turn to hold the third meeting of the so-called “3+3” platform, which took place this past week. During the summit, Mirzoyan met with Bayramov, as part of the current bilateral format of meetings.

We’re not aware of any results, at least none were reported, but the “Big 3”, Russia, Turkey and Iran proposed to Armenia and Azerbaijan to move their “peace process” negotiations to the 3+3, in order to achieve a regional solution. At this time neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan have responded to the offer.

The Dynamics of Identity and Geopolitics in the South Caucasus

In your recent paper, From Transcaucasia to the South Caucasus: Structural and Discursive Predicaments in Armenia’s Regional Integration (June 2023), you document the perception of Armenia within the wider geopolitical region over time. Over the past 200 years, the constant is that Armenia has largely perceived its destiny to be linked with Russia. Yet, with the outcome of the 2020 war in Artsakh and other larger geopolitical shifts, this perception is currently in the process of being challenged.

Crossroads of Peace

This past week Pashinyan attended the Silk Road Forum conference in Tiflis where he unveiled his new plan he calls Crossroads of Peace. While Pashinyan presented, Azerbaijan was represented only at the deputy prime minister level. The plan is based on four principles:

Sovereignty over own infrastructure
Border control & security
Dual use infrastructure
Equal access and simplified procedures

Questions:

What’s new with this plan?
Is this just a sugar-coating of the “Zangezur corridor”? A case of Pashinyan socializing Aliyev’s demands?

First let’s note how it doesn’t include any hint of Artsakh at all, it’s like it never existed.
