Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is signaling a renewed focus on the peace process with Azerbaijan. He is open to discussing a modified Zangezur corridor, which would connect Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenian territory. Previously, both sides agreed to set aside the corridor issue, but Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev recently brought it back into negotiations. Armenia remains cautious about extraterritorial rights for the corridor but is willing to consider special privileges for Azerbaijan. Pashinyan also proposed new ideas on unresolved issues in peace talks and hinted at dissolving the OSCE Minsk Group, which has lost influence. He aims to enhance trade opportunities, including exporting electricity from Central Asia through Azerbaijan to Europe.
