Demonstrators holding up flag of Nagorno-Karabakh
The conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) between Armenia and Azerbaijan
remains immune to a political solution despite the two decades of
intensive international mediation. The parties to the conflict are
using negotiations to buy time and maintain a fragile status quo,
even if they find it unfavorable in the long run. The external actors
either lack tangible interest in breaking the current political impasse
or are unable to do so. The author contends that the complexity of
issues and geopolitical realities around the NK conflict render it
intractable and make its resolution ever more challenging.
