The recent Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal has the potential to reshape the geopolitics of the South Caucasus and reverberate across the wider Black Sea region. For Armenia, the agreement brings both relief from decades of conflict and uncertainty over sovereignty and security guarantees. For Azerbaijan, it signals a consolidation of regional power and new opportunities for energy and trade connectivity. The United States faces a challenge: calibrating its foreign policy to support peace and stability while balancing its response to Russian, Turkish, and Iranian influence. Meanwhile, Georgia, positioned at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has a vested interest in how the deal will impact regional transit routes, democratic development, and its changing dynamics with the European Union.
This event brings together four perspectives—Armenian, Azerbaijani, American, and Georgian—to explore how the peace deal is reshaping regional dynamics and what it means for the future of the South Caucasus, the Black Sea, and global foreign policy.
