Armenia-Azerbaijan Talks

Armenia and Azerbaijan participated in a NATO summit in Yerevan at the request of Secretary of State Blinken, but they could not reach any new agreements. Since then Assistant Secretary James O’Brien visited Baku, and to all accounts the US is exerting some pressure on Aliyev to sign an agreement, and soon.

A couple of interesting developments occurred this past week:

The sides confirmed that the “transport links” provision, this is Baku’s so-called “Zangezur corridor” demand, has been removed from the talks.
Armenia has linked the issue of applying for the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group to the signing of a “peace treaty”.

We should make it clear that there’s not going to be a genuine Peace Treaty any time soon. Whether it’s called a quote-unquote “peace treaty,” or whatever, Baku has made it clear that they will only sign some agreement around principles and that’s it. Everything else about achieving peace is Pashnyan hype, in fact the Azerbaijani side does not call it a “peace treaty”.
