Laurence Broers: Sustainable peace is ‘beyond the high table and a piece of paper’ 

Laurence Broers, associate fellow at Chatham House’s Russia and Eurasia Programme, sits down with CivilNet’s Karen Harutyunyan to speak about the developments in the region since the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. Laurence discusses regional geopolitics, Western mediation efforts, the bilateral negotiation track, and Russia’s role. Even weakened, Russia will remain a tremendously powerful player in the South Caucasus, Laurence says.

Earlier last week, Laurence delivered a speech at a conference in Yerevan titled “The South Caucasus: Trends and prospects in the context of the war in Ukraine,” organized by the Caucasus Institute.
