Delays in signing an Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement open the prospects that the process may be derailed as a result of domestic politics. Next month, Yerevan will go to the polls to indirectly elect a new mayor. The parliamentary opposition is boycotting the vote, and a large number of voters remain apathetic or undecided, but the vote can still be seen as demonstrative enough ahead of the 2026 national parliamentary elections. In this op-ed for commonspace.eu, Onnik James Krikorian argues<\/a> that Pashinyan foes are already attempting to turn the 17 September 2023 vote into a \u2018referendum\u2019 on Armenia-Azerbaijan talks and former de facto State Minister of Karabakh Ruben Vardanyan has called for the same.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

As the third anniversary of the start of the 2020 war over the former Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) approaches, uncertainty continues to surround the possibility of signing an Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement by the end of the year. In a perfect world, there should be little to prevent one, but that too was arguably the case in the years following the earlier 1994 ceasefire agreement.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In short, we simply don\u2019t know.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But what we do know is that time is arguably running out<\/span>\u00a0with a number of dates on the horizon making some kind of agreement all the more urgent. Aside from the risk of a major humanitarian crisis in Karabakh unless commercial goods can be delivered via Lachin, with additional humanitarian aid possibly via a supplementalroute through Aghdam, the most obvious date is already known \u2013 2025.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
