Their letter follows Azerbaijan being selected to host the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29). Excerpts and highlights from the letter below: “Since late last year, Azerbaijan and Armenia have engaged in negotiations to bring an end to decades of hostilities stemming from the collapse of the Soviet Union. Both sides have taken commendable steps toward peace, including border delimitation and ongoing engagement at the highest levels. Unfortunately, discussions appear to have stalled. “By hosting COP29, Azerbaijan intends to show that it is a responsible member of the global community. Hosting an international forum may be seen as a good gesture of diplomacy, but Azerbaijan has the opportunity to do more. If Azerbaijan truly wishes to advance international cooperation, it should demonstrate that by making peace with Armenia. “At a time of increasing global conflict, it is crucial that the U.S. work urgently to consolidate and build on the fragile stability in this critical region.” CLICK HERE to read the full letter. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:07:06Z |
