In this episode of the “Trending Topic” segment of the “Line of Contact” series, Murad Muradov, Deputy Director of the Topchubashov Center (Baku), and political analyst Robert Gevondyan, an expert at the Armenian Council (Yerevan), examine the reasons behind the current pause in the Armenian–Azerbaijani peace process.
The main topics of the discussion include: How are the upcoming electoral processes in Armenia affecting the pace of the peace settlement? Does Washington remain interested in the “Trump Route” (TRIPP) project, or has the focus of attention shifted entirely due to the war in Iran? Does the slowdown of the TRIPP project mean that the sides will move toward unblocking alternative transport links — in particular, the northern route?
The program was prepared as part of a joint initiative of the Yerevan Press Club and Baku Press Club.
