Historic moment in Washington as Armenia and Azerbaijan end decades of conflict and open the door for a new era
9 August 2025
Armenia and Azerbaijan have ended decades of conflict between them, and opened the door for a new era for them, and for the entire South Caucasus.
In a historic meeting in Washington DC, facilitated by US President, Donald Trump, the two sides initialed the Peace Agreement between them that has been under discussion for a long time. The agreement still has to be signed and ratified.
The two side also issued a joint declaration which was signed by the two leaders, and countersigned by the US president, as witness.
The document emphasised the importance of sustainable peace between the two countries. commonspace.eu political editor said in a comment that the Washington meeting took a long time in coming, and many had started wondering if the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan had the political will and stamina to bring peace to the region, but in the end, with a bit of nudging by president Trump they did it. Congratulations to all concerned. In many ways, the work starts now, and Armenian and Azerbaijani societies must be involved and must make their contribution so that the Washington agreements can be successfully implemented .

7 August 2025
A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump has been agreed, a Kremlin official said on Thursday 7 August, the eve of a White House deadline for Moscow to show progress toward ending the 3-year-old war in Ukraine. Putin’s foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov, quoted by AP, said a summit could possibly take place next week at a venue that has been decided “in principle.” Next week is the target date for a summit, Ushakov said, while noting that such events take time to organise and no date is confirmed. The possible venue will be announced “a little later,” he said.

Trump Hosts Aliyev and Pashinyan but Peace Requires More Than Handshakes
7 August 2025
As diplomatic efforts to resolve the long-running conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan once again make headlines, the real challenge lies not in high-level meetings or momentary gestures, but in the unfortunate disconnect between the elites and the populations they represent. For almost thirty years, press release after press release declared that talks inched towards peace. Hopes were premature. The sides will next month mark the anniversary of the last war fought five years ago.

Netanyahu considering seizing all of Gaza strip
5 August 2025
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is contemplating a complete military takeover of Gaza for the first time in two decades, media reported, and was to meet senior security officials on Tuesday 5 August to finalize a new strategy in the 22-month war. It was unclear, however, whether Netanyahu was foreseeing a prolonged occupation or a short-term operation aimed at dismantling Hamas and freeing Israeli hostages. Mediation between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas has collapsed despite intense international pressure for a ceasefire to ease hunger and appalling conditions in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
