Baku rejects Yerevan’s ‘Peace Crossroads’ amid Zangazur Corridor deadlock [OPINION]

On January 28, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev addressed several important issues during a meeting focused on transportation. The main topics included identifying the problems faced by Azerbaijan’s transport infrastructure and discussing potential solutions for their development. An additional topic discussed was the Zangazur Corridor, which has remained unresolved for about five years. This corridor is a commitment made by Armenia in the Trilateral Statement of November 10, 2020. It is important to note that even if Armenia does not agree to the Zangazur Corridor, which holds global significance, it is still required to provide unhindered access to Nakhchivan, which is part of Azerbaijan, as requested by influential external parties.

The recent proposal by Yerevan for a “Peace Crossroads” in the region has been met with rejection by Baku, further deepening the deadlock over the Zangazur Corridor.

The proposal, which aimed to create a neutral zone for dialogue and cooperation between Armenia and Azerbaijan, was seen as a potential breakthrough in the ongoing conflict. However, Baku’s rejection of the idea signals a continued reluctance to engage in meaningful peace talks.

The Zangazur Corridor, a key issue in the conflict between the two countries, remains a major point of contention. Azerbaijan views the corridor as essential for connecting its mainland to its exclave of Nakhchivan, while Armenia sees it as a threat to its territorial integrity.

The rejection of the “Peace Crossroads” proposal underscores the deep-rooted distrust and animosity between the two countries, making it increasingly difficult to find a resolution to the conflict. Without a willingness to engage in dialogue and compromise, the prospects for lasting peace in the region remain uncertain.

In conclusion, the rejection of Yerevan’s proposal by Baku highlights the need for both sides to prioritize peace and reconciliation over territorial ambitions. Only through genuine dialogue and cooperation can a lasting solution to the conflict be achieved.
