🇦🇲🇦🇿🇬🇪 The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, along with their future relations, could be reshaped within a new international political framework following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.
In contrast to other regions and countries, the Caucasus may not be a primary focus within the broader scope of US global strategy. However, the Caucasus region plays a significant role that reflects its unique characteristics.
Given the region’s proximity to critical US interests, such as Russia and Iran, and the high sensitivity of Caucasian states to the policies of major powers, coupled with the ongoing volatility in the regional landscape, it is essential to analyse the latest developments from an internal, regional perspective, writes Shi Jing, Assistant Professor at the Institute for International and Area Studies, Tsinghua University.

💻 The role of some modern, digital media and social platforms as spreaders of fake news and accelerators of disinformation, aggressive nationalism, xenophobia, racism or even fascism is secondary.
They amplify and spread disinformation and stereotypes originally produced mostly by traditional media and state actors, writes Petros Papaconstantinou.

🇦🇲🇦🇿 Media Storms and Maximalist Bar: International Relations in the South Caucasus
On January 23, 2025, the Valdai Club hosted an expert discussion dedicated to Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and Russia’s policy in the South Caucasus. The discussion was moderated by Oleg Barabanov, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.
💬 Nikolay Silaev, Leading Researcher at the Institute for International Studies at MGIMO University, called for the media agenda to be separated from the diplomatic one and for focus to not be fixated on intermittent “media storms”, but on the constant factors that influence relations in the region. He noted that in recent years, Azerbaijan had enjoyed certain diplomatic achievements, and one of them was the exclusion of mediators from negotiations with Armenia. At the same time, the parties are still far from concluding a peace treaty.
💬 Kamran Gasanov, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Theory and History of Journalism of the Philological Faculty of Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, believes that the obstacles to the conclusion of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan are gradually being removed. The issue of border delimitation remains an obstacle, which is being dealt with very slowly. The issue of territorial claims has not yet been resolved, but some progress has been noticeable. Gasanov believes that Russia’s positions in the South Caucasus are currently strengthening. The current dynamics in relations with Georgia can be considered evidence of this.
💬 Alexander Iskandaryan, Director of the Caucasus Institute in Yerevan, pointed out that the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, which has long ceased to be called the “Karabakh conflict” and has a much broader nature, has not yet come to an end, and the peace process, in fact, has not moved forward. The preparation of a peace treaty, despite all the optimistic statements of diplomats, is actually stalling, beset by political rather than legal problems. The conflict continues, albeit not on the battlefield.
💬 “The problem with the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict until the last moment was that the parties themselves did not want a settlement. They wanted a victory, a maximalist bar,” said Sergei Markedonov, leading researcher at the Centre for Euro-Atlantic Security at the Institute for International Studies at MGIMO University. In his opinion, the new status quo is simply a change in the positions of the parties – the losers give in, the winners make a show and go on. “The conflict continues precisely because the parties themselves do not see a compromise settlement,” he is convinced.

Media Storms and Maximalist Bar: International Relations in the South Caucasus
On January 23, 2025, the Valdai Club hosted an expert discussion dedicated to Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and Russia’s policy in the South Caucasus. The discussion was moderated by Oleg Barabanov, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.
🇮🇳 There are three great powers, namely the US, China and Russia in the present multi-polar world, which have between them two opposite global governance models.
These powers are responsible for shaping and stability in global geopolitics.
📍 The first model is spearheaded by the US whose strengths are military power and supremacy of the US dollar. It believes in the balance of power politics and sees security as a zero-sum game. Not reconciled to the end of unipolar world, the US, leading the Global North nations, has often bypassed the United Nations and has abandoned globalisation in favour of plurilateralism and bloc politics in the hope of winning what it believes is the new Cold War.
📍 The other global governance model supported by China and Russia is furthering the UN-based international law, equality of states, indivisible security, multilateralism and globalisation for development and prosperity for upliftment and prosperity of EMDCs.
The Indian dream of becoming a developed nation can only be realised in a collective way as part of the Global South working with Russia and China, because only this global governance model promises sustainable development, Pravin Sawhney writes.
