Armenia and Azerbaijan are making progress towards normalizing relations following a long-standing conflict over territory. The two nations are working on demarcating their boundaries, with the first border marker being placed recently.
Azerbaijan regained control of the Karabakh province, previously held by ethnic Armenian forces since the 1990s, after a six-week war in 2020. In September 2023, Azerbaijani forces, with Russian mediation, compelled Karabakh's Armenian authorities to capitulate.
