Peace Bridge: Armenian pundit calls for strengthened peace in South Caucasus

The South Caucasus urgently needs strengthened peace, particularly in light of ongoing conflicts in neighbouring regions, Armenian-side coordinator of the Peace Bridge Initiative and president of the Armenian Council Areg Kochinyan said at a press conference following a meeting of civil society representatives from Azerbaijan and Armenia. 

“Today we live in a world where conflicts are taking place in several regions simultaneously. [...] This creates a kind of ‘ring of fire' around the South Caucasus and increases the need for sustainable peace in our region,” Kochinyan said, Caliber.Az reports per local media.

He stressed that consolidating peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia requires decisive action.

“We understand that neither the geopolitical situation nor the region itself allows us to delay this process,” he added.
