History

Historical Context

The Yerevan Dialogue 2025 reflects ongoing tensions rooted in the historical conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, particularly over Nagorno-Karabakh. The First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994) established Armenian control, but Azerbaijan's military offensives in 2020 and 2023 have intensified hostilities. Previous peace efforts, often mediated by external powers, have struggled against deep-seated animosities and territorial disputes, complicating prospects for lasting stability.
