The Brussels meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders was an important development.  The outcomes of this meeting and, in general, the results of the past year give ground to hope that the next year will bring more peace and cooperation to the Armenia – Azerbaijan relations, writes Vasif Huseynov in this op-ed for KarabakhSpace.

One year after the end of the recent tragic Armenia-Azerbaijan armed conflict, the European Union has so far failed to provide any tangible aid to rebuild the formerly occupied territories. An EU involvement in the Karabakh reconstruction process could facilitate not only the return of up to a million refugees and IDPs but also significantly contribute to the long-term stability of the South Caucasus –  a primary goal of EU’s Eastern Partnership and Neighborhood Policies, writes Nurlan Mustafayev in this op-ed.

"The current border tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia are not the first and likely not the last. Given this, a successful border demarcation/delimitation process could be a crucial point in paving the way for a final peace agreement between the two adversaries. Therefore, the resumption of direct peace talks  is the only rational  option", writes Fuad Shahbazov in this op-ed.

It is high time for the international community to reconsider the role of the Minsk Group in the post-war peace process between Baku and Yerevan and should either dissolve the institution entirely or reform/restructure it to effectively address the negotiation process, writes Vasif  Huseynov in this op-ed

Since the end of the 44-day war, Azerbaijan has been working to rebuild and reconstruct the territories that returned to its control. In this op-ed for KarabakhSpace.eu, Vasif Huseynov gives an account of the progress that has been made over the last year and the work that is ongoing.

Whilst Georgia has long acted as an informal home for peace building initiatives between Armenia and Azerbaijan, its recent offer of its “good offices” shows a higher level of engagement. In this op-ed, Benyamin Poghosyan looks at what's behind this move, for KarabakhSpace.eu.
