Euronews publishes special report on Azerbaijan’s Remembrance Day PHOTO

Euronews has published an article marking September 27 — Remembrance Day in Azerbaijan.

The article notes that on the anniversary of the start of the 44-day war in 2020, the country is paying tribute to servicemen who were killed during the hostilities six years ago.

“The events of that autumn in 2020 changed the 30-year status quo generated by the dissolution of the Soviet Union which had brought decades of deep-rooted conflict and regional stagnation between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The cessation of hostilities in November 2020 reshaped the strategic landscape of the region establishing a new political framework which culminated with the two former rivals reaching a peace agreement which includes borders delimitation, the start of a reconciliation process, but also kickstarting an economic expansion and launching new regional transport corridors for global opportunities,” Euronews notes.

The broadcaster highlights that one of the most notable manifestations of this process was the resumption of railway links following Azerbaijan’s lifting of transit restrictions at the end of 2025 and the launch of supplies to Armenia.

“According to state customs data, direct exports from Azerbaijan to Armenia between January and August 2026 reached over $17 million (over €15 million). Direct shipments have included approximately 17,000 tonnes of diesel fuel and roughly 5,000 tonnes of AI-92 and AI-95 petrol,” Euronews writes.

The political framework for the normalization process, the article says, was outlined at a meeting in Washington on August 8, 2025, attended by US President Donald Trump, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

Following the meeting, the sides signed a joint declaration related to the process of preparing a comprehensive peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Alongside official diplomacy, engagement between civil society and public organizations from the two countries is also developing.

“Furthermore, civil engagement is progressing alongside the joint development of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), a transit corridor through Armenia's Syunik region that connects Azerbaijan directly to its Nakhchivan exclave,” the article says.

It also notes that six years after the war, Remembrance Day in Azerbaijan is taking place against the backdrop of an ongoing regional normalization process encompassing not only political relations, but also trade, transport, telecommunications and interaction between civil societies.
