Zaur Shiriyev, a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, joined Turkey recap editor Diego Cupolo to discuss the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace process.

Shiriyev outlined the current state of negotiations as well as implications for Turkey, the Zangezur transit corridor and what’s at stake for Russia, Iran, Central Asian nations and the European Union.

Israel-Azerbaijan relations were also covered in addition to Baku’s role in the Organization of Turkic States, which held its 12th Summit between leaders as this webcast was recorded.
