On Tuesday, July 22 at 2:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center will host a discussion examining recent developments in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, as well as changing dynamics with power players in the region.
New winds are blowing in the always-turbulent South Caucasus. Azerbaijan’s victory in the 2020 Karabakh war and lightning offensive in 2023 have Baku taking a hardline approach in peace negotiations with Armenia, with significant backing from Turkey. Russia is no doubt pleased with the Georgian Dream government’s anti-US tilt, but the Kremlin has soured its relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, cutting into its influence in the region.
Under the Trump administration, the United States has watched the region closely, particularly as it seeks to be a constructive partner in a final peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This dynamic new period yields both opportunities and dangers for the region.
This conversation, moderated by John Herbst, senior director at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, will take place on ACTV, YouTube, X, and Facebook. To attend virtually, please register above.
