On October 21, 2025, an Azerbaijani Airlines (AZAL) Gulfstream G650, call sign 4K-ASG, touched down at Yerevan\u2019s Zvartnots Airport. It was a historic event, commented many.<\/p>\n

\n

It was the first time an AZAL flight had landed in Armenia for three decades, claimed others. In fact, neither was correct though such minor inaccuracies probably don’t matter. The remarks came spontaneously, born from a general sense of euphoria about the development, even if at first mainly from the Azerbaijani side.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[\u2026] <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There were five Azerbaijani activists, journalists and political scientists onboard to meet counterparts from local civil society in the Armenian capital. Such meetings are not new, of course, but this was bilaterally organised without any external intermediaries. When AZAL flew to and from Yerevan in 2006 and 2011, the last I personally remember, it had been under the respective auspices of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and Russian Federation.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one small step across borders, [but] one giant leap for dialogue,\u201d commented Topchubashov director Rusif Huseynov, a participant from the Azerbaijani side, on X. Many others would agree that it is imperative that it succeeds.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
