The European Union is sending monitors to Armenia\u2019s border with Azerbaijan, so as to lessen the danger of renewed fighting between the two countries over Nagorno-Karabakh and other issues. Brussels must give the mission the means and mandate it will need to succeed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

The 2020 war over Nagorno-Karabakh left many issues unresolved and the front lines volatile. The parties should establish a formal communication channel to address urgent post-war problems, Russian peacekeepers need a clearer mandate and aid agencies must be granted access to the conflict zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

While the war over Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 moved the front lines in Azerbaijan\u2019s favour, it has not brought peace. In this excerpt from our Watch List 2021, Crisis Group urges the EU and its member states to engage in humanitarian initiatives in both Armenia and Azerbaijan and continue to engage diplomatically through the OSCE Minsk Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

Russian mediation succeeded in ending the six-week war in Nagorno-Karabakh but left much unresolved, chiefly the region\u2019s future status. If the cessation of hostilities is to become a sustainable peace, the parties should start by cooperating on humanitarian relief and trade before tackling larger questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

A Russian-brokered deal has silenced the guns in Nagorno-Karabakh, the region disputed for decades by Armenia and Azerbaijan. It falls short, however, of a clear, sustainable peace.

Fighting in and around Nagorno-Karabakh is decimating towns and cities, displacing tens of thousands and killing scores. Combatants must cease attacks on populated areas and let humanitarian aid through. International actors, notably the UN and OSCE, should send monitors and push harder for a ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

This report is the most recent published before the current conflict. It speaks on how the breakout of fighting in July 2020 \u201cinterrupted what had been a stretch of relative quiet on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.\u201d Importantly, it warns what the two nations must do in order to mediate this clash, and take preventative measures to evade the possibility of what could be an all-out war (which did end up occurring).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

If they move quickly, Armenia and Azerbaijan could break out of their long impasse over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. They could pursue quiet talks on thorny issues \u2013 settlements, peacekeepers and final status \u2013 but along separate tracks rather than in a single package.\u201d Essentially, this report explores the narrow opening in potential discussions over Nagorno-Karabakh at the time, and offers advice on how the two nations \u201ccould start talks on issues underpinning the standoff.\u201d This is all because \u201ca new government in Yerevan said it was ready to seek a compromise solution,\u201d and \u201cBaku appeared to be more open to exploring ways to resolve the dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

Eleven years after the 1994 ceasefire, burgeoning defense budgets, increasing ceasefire violations, and continuing demonization by each side of the other side are ominous signs that time for a peace agreement is running out. But a compromise can now be constructed around an approach that, while addressing all the matters in dispute, leaves the core issue of Nagorno-Karabakh\u2019s ultimate status open for later resolution, after other measures have been put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

1998 | Carley, Patricia | Report\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although it has long since fallen out of the headlines, the conflict over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh appears no closer to resolution than when the worst of the fighting ended six years ago. Hotly disputed between Armenians and Azeris, this tiny, barren area in the southern Caucasus region of the former Soviet Union has been the scene of some bitter fighting; though the military clashes have largely ceased, the political battles are as high-pitched as ever.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
