COP29 – A chance for peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan?

Raising concerns about human rights abuses by the Aliyev regime in Azerbaijan has become the focal point in the conversations regarding COP29 in the country’s capital, Baku. However, these concerns have overshadowed an arguably more important development – the near finalisation of a peace deal between the two seemingly eternal regional rivals Armenia and Azerbaijan. This potential peace deal, with its power to usher in a new era of regional stability in the South Caucasus, offers a beacon of hope for a more peaceful future.
