BRIEFING—A Historic Opportunity: Advancing the Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Deal

Rayburn House Office Building 2212

Stream live here
 

After decades of war, Armenia and Azerbaijan are on the verge of a peace deal that promises to bring stability and prosperity while lessening Russia and Iran’s grip on the region. However, as negotiations stall, frustrations mount, and the United States turns its attention elsewhere, this window of opportunity is closing.

This briefing will assess the state of the peace talks and risks to U.S. regional interests of further delay to a negotiated settlement as well as explore the opportunities any settlement will create.

Panelists:

  1. Maria Karapetyan, member of the National Assembly of Armenia
  2. Nerses Kopalyan, Assistant Professor-in-Residence of Political Science at the University of Nevada
  3. Garo Paylan, former member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and Visiting Scholar at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
  4. Jennifer Wistrand, Deputy Director of the Kennan Institute
