Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia to hold regional talks in Antalya

The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia will engage in a panel discussion on regional cooperation challenges and opportunities at the Diplomatic Forum in Antalya on April 12. 

The ministers – Jeyhun Bayramov of Azerbaijan, Maka Botchorishvili of Georgia, and Ararat Mirzoyan of Armenia – will address ongoing developments in the South Caucasus region, Caliber.Az reports citing local media.

The discussion will focus on both the potential and existing barriers to regional cooperation.

A significant aspect of the panel will be the exploration of sustainable and inclusive development in the region, particularly in the context of global instability. The discussion aims to provide insight into how the South Caucasus can navigate these challenges while fostering collaborative growth.

Note that, the 4th edition of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF2025), hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye, will take place in Antalya, Türkiye, on April 11-13, under the auspices of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

This year’s theme, "Reclaiming Diplomacy in a Fragmented World," addresses the urgent need for diplomacy to re-establish itself as a stabilising force amidst escalating global divisions. Geopolitical rifts, rising global inequalities, violence targeting civilians, intolerance towards differing views, technological disruptions, and the multifaceted impact of the climate crisis have all undermined global trust and disrupted the international order.

The incapacity of the current global system to address these pressing challenges has exacerbated efforts for international cooperation.

In light of this heightened instability, the Antalya Diplomacy Forum seeks to critically assess the systemic issues facing the multilateral order. The Forum will facilitate discussions on how diplomacy can navigate the complexities of the current international landscape.

It will bring together leaders, policymakers, scholars, business experts, and civil society representatives to explore ways in which diplomacy can adapt to overcome divisions and foster collective action.
