The EU as a Conflict Manager: The Case of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict

Abstract

This paper seeks to ascertain the strategic interests held by all involved parties and explore the potential consequences related to the amplified involvement of the European Union as a mediator in the post- Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict scenario. It aims to delve into the effectiveness, rationale, and methodologies employed in the EU's mediation interventions.On this account, the research will focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the European Union-sponsored trilateral and quadrilateral meetings among leaders, assessing the significance of the recent civilian EU monitoring mission, and examining the intentions behind fostering trust at both high-level diplomatic tiers and grassroots levels.
