Is an Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Deal Possible?

This video explores the likelihood of a comprehensive agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan and its potential to bring lasting peace to the Caucasus. Over 2024, there’s been growing hope that Yerevan and Baku might reach a historic peace settlement. After many rounds of talks, including a significant meeting during the July 2024 NATO Summit, both nations have shown commitment to finalising a deal. However, substantial challenges remain. So, is peace possible? The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has deep historical roots, particularly over Nagorno-Karabakh, a region that has sparked multiple wars. Following a devastating defeat for Armenia in 2023, where Azerbaijan regained control of Nagorno-Karabakh, peace talks intensified. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has pushed for a comprehensive peace plan, including controversial measures like constitutional amendments and border adjustments. While prospects for a deal remain uncertain, the involvement of international powers, particularly the United States, could be pivotal. This video examines the complex dynamics at play and the potential outcomes of this critical geopolitical issue and explores the essential role of leadership in peace processes. MY LATEST BOOK!
