About our Armenia/Azerbaijan news

Latest news on Armenia-Azerbaijan relations, providing comprehensive coverage of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, peace negotiations, border tensions, and diplomatic developments between the two nations.

The complex relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan, two neighbouring countries in the South Caucasus, has been marked by decades of conflict and tension. At the heart of their dispute lies the contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh, an area internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but primarily populated by ethnic Armenians. This long-standing conflict has resulted in multiple wars, displaced populations, and ongoing diplomatic challenges.

As of August 2024, relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan remain fragile but show signs of progress. Recent peace negotiations, facilitated by international mediators, have led to tentative agreements on border demarcation and the opening of transport links. However, sporadic ceasefire violations along the border continue to threaten stability. The European Union Mission in Armenia (EUMA), deployed in 2022, continues to monitor the situation and support confidence-building measures between the two countries.

The human cost of the conflict remains significant, with thousands of families still affected by displacement and loss. Efforts to address humanitarian concerns, including the exchange of prisoners and the recovery of remains, have seen some progress. Cultural initiatives aimed at fostering understanding between Armenian and Azerbaijani communities are gaining traction, with cross-border youth exchanges and joint artistic projects offering glimpses of hope for reconciliation.

The roots of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict date back to the early 20th century, with tensions escalating during the collapse of the Soviet Union. The First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994) resulted in Armenian control of the region, while the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020 saw Azerbaijan regain much of the previously lost territory. This complex history continues to shape current negotiations and public sentiment in both countries.

Staying informed about Armenia-Azerbaijan relations is crucial for understanding regional dynamics in the South Caucasus and broader geopolitical implications. Our NewsNow feed provides up-to-the-minute coverage from a wide range of reliable sources, offering comprehensive insights into diplomatic developments, peace initiatives, and the ongoing efforts to build lasting stability between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
