Prof Hakan Yavuz will lead a discussion about the complex situation in the region which has experienced much conflict, political turbulence and strategic realignment in recent years. A lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan remains uncertain, and so is the future of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP). Anti-government protests in Tbilisi and Yerevan combine with Baku’s tight balancing act between Russia and Turkiye to add further uncertainty to the trajectory of the region that is critical to stability and security in Eurasia.
