The normalization process between Armenia and Azerbaijan is entering what many observers describe as an unprecedented stage. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has also acknowledged the positive momentum currently shaping relations between the two countries. One of the clearest signs of this shift was the participation of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in an event held in Armenia, albeit online — something that would have seemed impossible only a few years ago.

The recent meetings between Azerbaijan and Armenia are being assessed as an important stage in the normalisation of relations. These discussions signal a transition from political statements to more practical and technical cooperation. In particular, the talks on the delimitation of the state border indicate that the parties are focused on achieving concrete results.

The recent meeting between representatives of Azerbaijani and Armenian civil society in Yerevan, held as part of the Peace Bridge initiative, can be seen as a significant development reflecting how new post-conflict realities are being perceived at the societal level.
