Peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan have resumed in the UAE after nearly four decades of conflict. The two leaders confirmed a draft peace deal finalized in March. The Nagorno-Karabakh region, which has been a point of contention, saw an exodus of ethnic Armenians following Azerbaijan's military actions in September 2023. The timeline for finalizing the peace deal remains uncertain. Azerbaijan's request for changes to Armenia's constitution and a transport corridor through Armenia presents challenges to reaching an agreement.
The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks in the United Arab Emirates after nearly four decades of conflict, confirming a draft peace deal from March.
Azerbaijan has said it wants Armenia to change its constitution, which it claims makes implicit territorial assertions, while Yerevan denies this.
Baku is also requesting a transport corridor through Armenia to connect its territory to Nakhchivan, an enclave bordering Turkey, raising concerns.
Since the draft deal announcement, there was a surge in ceasefire violations along the heavily militarised border, although no recent violations have been reported.
