Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Process
Last updated: May 29, 2026
The Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process has been one of the most consequential and contested diplomatic threads of the post-Soviet South Caucasus. After the 44-Day War of 2020 ended with Armenia’s military defeat and the Russian-brokered November 9 ceasefire, negotiations over a final peace treaty began in earnest — mediated at different times by Russia, the European Union, and the United States. The agenda covers border delimitation, the opening of transportation routes, the fate of Armenian prisoners of war , and the legal status of the so-called “Zangezur Corridor”.
Progress has been fitful. Talks collapsed repeatedly over competing interpretations of key provisions, and Azerbaijan’s September 2023 offensive that carried out the ethnic cleansing of the entire Armenian population of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) reshaped the political ground beneath both sides. Groong has covered every major round of negotiations — in Prague, Chisinau, Brussels, Washington, and Granada — as well as the periods of stalled talks and renewed tension that have punctuated the process.
The core dispute over a final peace agreement remains unresolved. Armenian officials speak of a peace treaty that anchors the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity; Azerbaijani officials demand constitutional amendments and a formal renunciation of any claims. Groong episodes in this category address the evolving framework for peace, the role of external mediators, domestic political reactions on both sides, and what a durable settlement would require.
