Today, the comments from regional and international actors emphasize the need for steady progress in talks to prevent further bloodshed and to establish conditions for stability. The rhetoric centers on practical steps: establishing secure corridors, addressing the legal status of disputed territories, ensuring rights and protections for affected communities, and creating mechanisms for verification and enforcement that can endure beyond immediate political transitions.

Official statements from Azerbaijan have highlighted a belief that progress is possible in the negotiations toward a peace agreement with Armenia. Analysts interpret these remarks as a signal of readiness to engage in a structured process, even while acknowledging that substantive differences still exist. The broader international frame continues to push for inclusivity in talks, with regional neighbors and global powers offering to support a negotiated path that reduces the risk of renewed hostilities and fosters confidence among communities long divided by the conflict.
