#Armenia_Azerbaijan: The US has joined the mediation effort to bring the two countries to a negotiating table. Armenia is counting on the EU and the US to set the conditions for a peace agreement. Until now, Azerbaijan has shown less political dedication to achieving⤵️
the goal of peace. The main reason could be Baku's prioritization of Nagorno-Karabakh, which means restoration of territorial integrity. Azerbaijan's autocratic regime allows more room for bargaining during negotiations than it appears to in Armenia, where⤵️
democratic institutions are in better shape and the government can be held accountable. Despite the protests and pressure from the more nationalist opposition, Yerevan has shown itself more willing to achieve peace. Unlike the latter, which does not face resistance from⤵️
political or civil forces, Baku has shown more interest in integrating Nagorno-Karabakh by force than in building peace based on the delimitation of borders and recognition with Armenia.
