Armenia-Azerbaijan: No Peace, Nor War | HIIA Spotlight 2025/1

The sensational news of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan made headlines in August after the leaders of the two countries signed a declaration in Washington. The peace treaty itself, however, has still not been ratified. Is the conflict truly over, or does the risk of renewed escalation remain? What obstacles continue to hinder the signing of a comprehensive peace treaty? The so-called Trump Route announced in Washington could upset the regional balance of power—how might Russia and Iran respond? What are the prospects for Azerbaijani and Armenian refugees to repatriate into their native homes? These are some of the questions that the guests of Spotlight, Johnny Melikyan Head of department at the Public Relations and Information Center, Armenia and Rusif Huseynov of Topchubashov Center seek to answer in this episode.

The HIIA Spotlight is the podcast series of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs.
