Azerbaijani Delegation Arrives in Armenia

On February 13-14, a two-sided round table will be held in Armenia under the "Bridge of Peace" initiative, where representatives of the civil societies of Armenia and Azerbaijan will meet. In addition to the core participants of the "Bridge of Peace" initiative, a broader group of participants from both sides will be involved.

According to ArmPress, the Azerbaijani delegation arrived in Armenia through the designated and demarcated section of the land border, having passed all relevant procedures. This represents an important practical step towards strengthening trust between the two countries.

During the discussions, representatives of the Armenian and Azerbaijani civil societies will address processes arising from the peace agenda established at the Washington summit on August 8, 2025. Separate sessions will focus on the emerging regional security architecture, the benefits of peace, public perceptions of establishing relations between the two societies, prospects for economic cooperation, and the role of civil society in strengthening mutual understanding and trust.
