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.

In recent weeks, there have been certain positive signs emerging in the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Writing from Baku, Vasif Huseynov goes over the recent developments – including both the proposed 3+3 and 3+2 regional co-operation platforms – and how they are perceived by Azerbaijan, in this op-ed for KarabakhSpace.eu.

As tensions continue to grow between Baku and Tehran, Fuad Shahbazov sheds some light on  the reasons for the sharp deterioration in relations, and the likely outcome, in this op-ed for KarabakhSpace.eu.

The establishment of the 3+3 format would imperil the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs format – one of the few remaining consensus-based platforms – at a time of global turmoil, argues Lieutenant-General, Dr Hayk Kotanjian in this interview with the Executive Director of the Political Science Association of Armenia, Dr Benyamin Poghosyan, for KarabakhSpace.eu.
